Excerpt from Lessons on the Phenomena of Industrial Life, and the Conditions of Industrial Success
WE all know, for we all feel, that we could not live without food, clothing, shelter, and fuel. A. Moderate supply of these we consider the necessaries of life. But in order to preserve health, and to command means of amusement and relaxation - to enjoy life, in short - we want other things besides; and these we call the comforts and luxuries of life. Many of the things originally looked upon as luxuries have long passed, among civilized people, into the class of necessaries. If, for example, we who live at the pre sent time in this country were to be deprived of paper, books, painting, sculpture, music, glass, soap, gas, and many other things too numerous to be separately named, we should feel ourselves to be deprived of most of the charms of existence, and of the securities for well-being.
