Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Our Social Bees
But there is a moral kind of insurance society has set up of late years, which makes us safe in our minds as well as in our goods and persons. There is not the slightest necessity for troubling ourselves about the trustworthiness of persons in our employ: there are ofiices which insure the honesty of servants. Integrity is a quality which the superior intelligence of the present day estimates at a fixed money rate and, provided we insure, it is an advantage rather than otherwise to employ rogues, inasmuch as they are always the cleverest. We should not be surprised to find the article rising in market-price in consequence of this very convenient institution.
