The crux of the author's argument appears on p. 25: "The value that is created and added to matter by labor is in the ratio of the skill of the worker or the appropriateness of his exertions and the rapidity with which they are made. ... When the mind is torpid, the hand works alone, and for want of a watchful guide it moves in an uncertain manner and with doubtful effect..."
