Chapter IX: Letter II: The nature of Rent. It is an exaction, by force of hand,

for the maintenance of Squires: but had better at present be left
to them. The nature of useful and useless employment. When
employment is given by capitalists, it is sometimes useful, but
oftener useless; sometimes moralizing, but oftener demoralizing.
And we had therefore better employ ourselves, without any appeal to
the capitalists (page 22); and to do this successfully, it must be
with three resolutions; namely, to be personally honest, socially
helpful, and conditionally obedient (page 23): explained in Letter
VII., page 21 to end.
