Slavery as an Industrial System

Excerpt from Slavery as an Industrial System: Ethnological Researches The present work is a revised edition of my book on slavery as it was published in 1900. Preparing this second edition, I saw that the general plan of the book could remain the same. The details, however, wanted improvement in many respects. The chapter treating of the geographical distribution of slavery among savage tribes has been much enlarged, as the information of which I dis posed was far more complete now than when the book was originally written. The theoretical part, I hope, has also much improved. A closer study of the subject has led me to alter some passages and make several additions.
