The Shadow On The Dial By Ambrose Bierce Man's firmer grasp upon his nose in this our day and generation is not altogether due to invention of the handkerchief. The genesis and development of his right to his own nose have been accompanied with a corresponding advance in the possessory rights all along the line of his belongings--his ears, his fingers and toes, his skin, his bones, his wife and her young, his clothes and his labor--everything that is (and that once was not) his. In Europe and America today these things can not be taken away from even the humblest and poorest without somebody wanting to "know the reason why." We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with a book that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic work, and that for you it becomes an enriching experience

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Excerpt from The Shadow on the Dial: And Other Essays Socialism and Anarchism are parts of the same thing, in the sense that the terminal points of a road are parts of the same road. Between them, about midway, lies the sys tem that we have the happiness to endure. It is a blend of Socialism and Anarchism in about equal parts: all that is not one is the other. Cooperation is Socialism; competi tion is Anarchism. Competition carried to its logical conclusion (which only coopera tion prevents or can prevent) would leave no law in force, no property possible, no life secure.

Everything foretells the doom of authority. The killing of kings is no new industry; it is asancient as the race. Always and everywhere persons in high place have been the assassin'sprey. We have ourselves lost three Presidents by murder, and will doubtless lose manyanother before the book of American history is closed. If anything is new in this activity ofthe regicide it is found in the choice of victims. The contemporary "avenger" slays, not themerely great, but the good and the inoffensive-an American President who had struck thechains from millions of slaves; a Russian Czar who against the will and work of his ownpowerful nobles had freed their serfs; a French President from whom the French peoplehad received nothing but good; a powerless Austrian Empress, whose weight of sorrowstouched the world to tears; a blameless Italian King beloved of his people; such is a part ofthe recent record of the regicide whose every entry is a tale of infamy unrelieved by onecircumstance of justice, decency or good intention.And the great Brazilian liberator died in exile.This recent uniformity of malevolence in the choice of victims is not without significance.It points unmistakably to two facts: first, that the selections are made, not by the assassinsthemselves, but by some central control inaccessible to individual preference andunaffected by the fortunes of its instruments; second, that there is a constant purpose tomanifest an antagonism, not to any individual ruler, but to rulers; not to any system ofgovernment, but to Government. It is a war, not upon those in authority, but uponAuthority. The issue is defined, the alignment made, the battle set: Chaos against Order, Anarchy against Law

THERE is a deal of confusion and uncertainty in the use of the words "Socialist,""Anarchist," and "Nihilist." Even the '1st himself commonly knows with as little accuracywhat he is as the rest of us know why he is. The Socialist believes that most human affairsshould be regulated and managed by the State-the Government-that is to say, themajority. Our own system has many Socialistic features and the trend of republicangovernment is all that way. The Anarchist is the kind of lunatic who believes that all crimeis the effect of laws forbidding it-as the pig that breaks into the kitchen garden is createdby the dog that chews its ear! The Anarchist favors abolition of all law and frequentlybelongs to an organization that secures his allegiance by solemn oaths and dreadfulpenalties. "Nihilism" is a name given by Turgenieff to the general body of Russiandiscontent which finds expression in antagonizing authority and killing authorities.Constructive politics would seem, as yet, to be a cut above the Nihilist's intelligence; he isessentially a destructionary. He is so diligently engaged in unweeding the soil that he hasnot given a thought to what he will grow there. Nihilism may be described as a policy ofassassination tempered by reflections upon Siberia. American sympathy with it is theoffspring of an unholy union between the tongue of a liar and the ear of a dupe.
