They neither draw water, cut wood nor pick coffee. They do not teach school, they do not protect our home, for there is one covered with soot. There is another the rats have gnawed, and recently another fell and was broken. How powerless they are.""This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
