| 520 | _a"The Writings of James Russell Lowell in Prose and Poetry, Volume V" by James Russell Lowell is a collection of political essays written in the late 19th century. This volume features a series of trenchant essays that explore critical issues such as slavery, democracy, and America's political landscape during a tumultuous time. It reflects Lowell's deep concern for moral principles and social justice, asserting the need for integrity in governance. The opening of this volume begins with "The American Tract Society," where Lowell critiques the organization's moral inconsistencies, particularly in relation to slavery. He uses the analogy of a hermit who becomes the tyrant he once condemned to highlight the Society's shift away from its founding ideals due to financial and political pressures. Lowell argues that true moral duty must include addressing the injustices of slavery and challenges the Society’s reluctance to engage in discussions about its implications. He posits that avoiding such crucial matters undermines both religion and the responsibility that comes with power, setting the stage for a vigorous discourse on the ethical obligations society holds towards its most vulnerable members.
