Excerpt from The Laws of Human Progress and Modern Reforms: A Lecture Delivered Before the Mercantile Library Association of the City of New-York The laws of progress then, come under three gene ral heads: the nature of man; his condition, i. E., in the material world; and his social, including his politi cal relations. The first law of progress, therefore, is moral free dom. Call this man's birthright or not - say or deny that all men are born to be free, -one thing is certain, there cannot be one step in human progress without this condition. And it is only from what is inevitably left of freedom to the very serf and slave, that he makes any progress. More in fact is left, than we always consider, or than our current language always admits. Free will, free thought, may be in many ways injuriously checked; but it cannot be extinguished in any human being; if it were, it would be, not slavery, but death to him as a man. And as faras' any institu tion, any authority, any religion, any government crushes down this freedom, its stops the growth of men and communities.
