The best politicians in Europe have condemned the present system of our poor laws.Among these we may reckon twogreat and distinguished writers;one universally admired for his incomparable work on the spirit of laws;the other for hismost elegant and judicious comment on the laws of England.A nobleman,who stands foremost among the literati in thenorth of Britain,has more freely and more fully delivered his opinion,and perfectly coincides in sentiment with those ablelawyers.These respectable authors have condemned the principles,whilst others have blamed only the execution of ourlaws.But all who are even in the least degree acquainted with the subject have lamented,that two millions should beannually expended on the poor without relieving their distress.

嘉莉妹妹
《嘉莉妹妹》是美国现实主义作家德莱塞的重要作品之一，是《珍妮姑娘》的姐妹篇。《嘉莉妹妹》描写了农村姑娘嘉莉来到大城市芝加哥寻找幸福，为摆脱贫困，出卖自己的贞操，先后与推销员和酒店经理同居，后又凭美貌与歌喉成为歌星的故事。作家以嘉莉为代表深刻揭露了美国资本主义制度对贫苦人民压榨的残酷性和资产阶级生活方式对小资产阶级分子的腐蚀性。
