Book excerpt: Excerpt from "Humanity," or What Every Father, Mother, Boy and Girl Should Know In real life, I have seen and know the real characters of the under world. F or seventeen years I have worked among them, trying to make them understand what is right and what is wrong. To them I have. In the most vivid way. Pictured the final consequences of a life of shame. I have made a careful study of the slavery of women in social vice, its darkness without a glimmer of light, a slaughter of love in every sense of the word. I see a Hell whose only door opens inward, never out ward. I see the deep damnation of the snaring of pure girls for a market of vice. The employment of hellish instruments to capture the body for profit in dollars, regardless of whose girl the one caught may be. I am terrified and stricken by the raw, ingenious, and horrific exploitation of an evil which I and others know exists on every hand. I defy anyone to maintain the contrary. I am chiefly concerned because it is true. I know a great many men and women will not take the time and trouble to search out and see the tragedy of poverty and Vice enacted in real life. The trouble is, that every one thinks that he or she are immune from this awful evil; but the sooner they realize that they are all susceptible to the awful danger, the better for society all around. The visible instances of dealing in human flesh only emphasize the stories often told to me by young girls with their own lips. F or some years past it was disbelieved by the general public that the present generation could stoop to such brutality, and I am not afraid to venture the remark that there are a great many people at the present time who do not believe that there is such a thing going on as white slavery or have even heard of the term White Slavery. Persistent effort, and actual witnessing of the conditions hereinafter described, have made enough evidence to convince the public. I will in truth bring out the actual facts of the problem of to-day, in the simplest language possible, so as to warn parents of the insidious forms of vice (white Slavery). I will evade nothing nor distort anything - this is a challenge. A sermon, a warning and a prayer. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
