I have searched the libraries through, and no one has done it before. If you read it, you will see that it needed to be done. It has meant 2. 5 years of thought and a year of investigation. It contains the facts. The present edition represents a sale of over 6. In this edition a few errors have been corrected, but otherwise the book has not been changed. The reader will understand that references to the World War are of the date 1. America's enterance. This book is the first of a series of volumes, an economic interpertation of culture, which now includes ? They are engaged in lifting themselves; tugging and straining until they grow red in the face, exhausted. The perspiration streams from their foreheads, they show every symptom of distress; the eyes of all are fixed, not upon each other, nor upon their bootstraps, but upon the sky above. There is a look of rapture upon their faces, and now and then, amid grunts and groans, they cry out with excitement and triumph. I approach one and say to him, . Being of a sympathetic turn of mind, I cannot help being distressed by the prevalence of this singular practice among so large a portion of the human race. How, is it possible that none of them should suspect the futility of their procedure? Or can it really be that I am uncomprehending? That in some way they are actually getting off the ground, or about to get off the ground? Then I observe a new phenomenon: a man gliding here and there among the bootstrap- lifters, approaching from the rear and slipping his hands into their pockets. The position of the spiritual exercisers greatly facilitates his work; their eyes being cast up to heaven, they do not see him, their thoughts being occupied, they do not heed him; he goes through their pockets at leisure, and transfers the contents to a bag he carries, and then moves on to the next victim. I watch him for a while, and finally approach and ask, . He gazes about at the sweating and grunting hordes; now and then he stops and lifts his hand in a gesture of benediction, and proclaims in rolling tones, . The agent greets him as a friend, and proceeds to transfer to the pockets of his capacious robes a generous share of the loot which he has collected. The majestic one does not cringe, nor does he make any effort to hide what is going on. On the contrary he cries aloud, . There is a general call for a policeman of the Wholesale Pickpockets' Association; and so I fall silent, and slink away in the throng, and thereafter keep my thoughts to myself. Over the vast plain I wander, observing a thousand strange and incredible and terrifying manifestations of the Bootstrap- lifting impulse. There is, I discover, a regular propaganda on foot; a long time ago - - no man can recall how far back - - the Wholesale Pickpockets made the discovery of the ease with which a man's pockets could be rifled while he was preoccupied with spiritual exercises, and they began offering prizes for the best essays in support of the practice. Now their propaganda is everywhere triumphant, - - and year by year we see an increase in the rewards and emoluments of the prophets and priests of the cult. The ground is covered with stately temples of various designs, all of which I am told are consecrated to Bootstrap- lifting, I come to where a group of people are occupied in laying the corner- stone of a new white marble structure; I inquire and am informed it is the First Church of Bootstrap- lifters, Scientist. As I stand watching, a card is handed to me, informing me that a lady will do my Bootstrap- lifting at five dollars per lift. I go on to another building, which I am told is a library containing volumes in defense of the Bootstrap- lifters, published under the auspices of the Wholesale Pickpockets. I enter, and find endless vistas of shelves, also several thousand current magazines and papers. I consult these - - for my legs have given out in the effort to visit and inspect all phases of the Bootstrap- lifting practice. I discover that hardly a week passes that some one does not start a new cult, or revive an old one; if I had a hundred life- times I could not know all the creeds and ceremonies, the services and rituals, the litanies and liturgies, the hymns, anthems and offertories of Bootstrap- lifting. There are the Holy Roman Bootstrap- lifters, whose priests are fed by Transubstantiation; the established Anglican Bootstrap- lifters, whose priests live by . There are Yogi Bootstrap- lifters with flowing robes of yellow silk; Theosophist Bootstrap- lifters with green and purple auras; Mormon Bootstrap- lifters, Mazdaznan Bootstrap- lifters, Spiritualist and Spirit- Fruit, Millerite and Dowieite, Holy Roller and Holy Jumper, Comd- to- glory Negro, Billy Sunday base- ball and Salvation Army bassdrum Bootstrap- lifters. There are the thousand varieties of . There are the Platonist and Hegelian and Kantian professors of collegiate metaphysical Bootstrap- lifting at several thousand dollars per year each. There are the Nietz- schean Bootstrap- lifters, who lift themselves to the Superman, and the art- for- art's- sake, neo- Pagan Bootstrap- lifters, who lift themselves down to the Ape. Excepting possibly the last- mentioned group, the priests of all these cults, the singers, shouters, prayers and exhorters of Bootstrap- lifting have as their distinguishing characteristic that they do very little lifting at their own bootstraps, and less at any other man's. Now and then you may see one bend and give a delicate tug, of a purely symbolical character: as when the Supreme Pontiff of the Roman Bootstrap- lifters comes once a year to wash the feet of the poor; or when the Sunday- school Superintendent of the Baptist Bootstrap- lifters shakes the hand of one of his Colorado mine- slaves. But for the most part the priests and preachers of Bootstrap- lifting walk haughtily erect, many of them being so swollen with prosperity that they could not reach their bootstraps if they wanted to. Their role in life is to exhort other men to more vigorous efforts at self- elevation, that the agents of the Wholesale Pickpockets' Association may ply their immemorial role with less chance of interference. The reader, offended by this raillery, asks if I mean to impugn the sincerity of all who preach the supremacy of the soul. No; I admit the honesty of the heroes and madmen of history. All I ask of the preacher is that he shall make an effort to practice his doctrine. Let him be tormented like Don Quixote; let him go mad like Nietzsche; let him stand upon a pillar and be devoured by worms like Simeon Stylites - - on these terms I grant to any dreamer the right to hold himself above economic science. He is humiliated by his simian ancestry, and tries to deny his animal nature, to persuade himself that he is not limited by its weaknesses nor concerned in its fate. And this impulse may be harmless, when it is genuine. But what are we to say when we see the formulas of heroic self- deception made use of by unheroic self- indulgence? What are we to say when we see asceticism preached to the poor by fat and comfortable retainers of the rich? What are we to say when we see idealism become hypocrisy, and the moral and spiritual heritage of mankind twisted to the knavish purposes of class- cruelty and greed? What I say is - - Bootstrap- lifting! It is the fate of many abstract words to be used in two senses, one good and the other bad. Morality means the will to righteousness, or it means Anthony Comstock; democracy means the rule of the people, or it mean's Tammany Hall. And so it is with the word . In that sense every thinking man must be religious; in that sense Religion is a perpetually self- renewing force, the very nature of our being. In that sense I have no thought of assailing it, I would make clear that I hold it beyond assailment. But we are denied the pleasure of using the word in that honest sense, because of another Which has been given to it. By such institutions the moral strivings of the race, the affections of childhood and the aspirations of youth are made the prerogatives and stock in trade of ecclesiastical hierarchies. It is the thesis of this book that . I am a man who has suffered, and has seen the suffering of others; I have devoted my life to analyzing the causes of the suffering, to find out if it be necessary and foreordained, or if by any chance there be a way of escape for future generations. I have found that the latter is the case; the suffering is needless, it can with ease and certainty be banished from the earth. I know this with the knowledge of science - - in the same way that the navigator of a ship knows his latitude and longitude, and the point of the compass to which he must steer in order to reach the port. Come, reader, let us put aside prejudice, and the terrors of the cults of the unknown. The power which made us has given us a mind, and the impulse to its use; let us see what can be done with it to rid the earth of its ancient evils. And do not be troubled if at the outset this book seems to be entirely . I know that the old symbols came out of the heart of man because they corresponded to certain needs of the heart of man. I know that new symbols will 'be found, corresponding more exactly to the needs of our time. If here I set to work to tear down an old and ramshackled building, it is not from blind destructfulness, but as an architect who means to put a new and sounder structure in its place. Before we part company, I shall submit the blue print of that new home of the spirit. I saw the Conquerors riding by. With trampling feet of horse and men. Empire on empire like the tide. Flooded the world and ebbed again; A thousand banners caught the sun. And cities smoked along the plain. And laden down with silk and gold. And heaped up pillage groaned the wain.
