 The Restoration of the Peasantries

"THE original strength of both China and Rome was that of superior
peasant-agricultures. China preserved hers as her foundation almost to the
present day. Rome abandoned hers as the source of social strength and
stability, and in her fall left wide-spread desolation as the final
monument of her methods."
