Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Problem of the Immigrant: A Brief Discussion, With a Summary of Conditions, Laws, and Regulations Governing the Movement of Population to and From the British Empire, United Stated, France, Belgium, Switzerland, Germany, Italy, Austria-Hungary, Spain, Portugal, Netherlands, Denmar Out of the remote and little-known regions of Northern, Eastern, and Southern Europe, for ever marches a vast and endless army. Nondescript and ever-changing in personnel, without leaders or organization, this great force, moving at the rate of nearly each year, is invading the civilized world. Like a mighty stream, it finds its source in a hundred rivulets. The huts of the mountains and the hovels of the plains are the springs which feed the fecundity of the races of the old world the inexhaustible source. It is a march the like of which the world has never seen, and the moving columns are animated by but one idea that of escaping from evils which have made existence intolerable, and of reaching the free air of countries where conditions are better shaped to the welfare of the masses of the people. It is a vast procession of varied humanity. In tongue it is polyglot; in dress, all climes from pole to equator are indicated, and all religions and beliefs enlist their followers. There is no age limit, for young and old travel side by side. There is no sex limitation. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
