logy" and "Principles of Sociology." I have attempted here to show the three parallel branches of its consequences, and, again, their common root, a constitutive and primordial property inherent in every instrumentality.] [Footnote 2202: Cf. "The Revolution," III., book VI., ch. 2 The encroachments of the State and their effect on individuals is there treated. Here, the question is their effects on corporations. Read, on the same subject, "Gladstone on Church and State," by Macaulay, and "The Man versus the State," by Herbert Spencer, two essays in which the close reasoning and abundance of illustrations are admirable.] [Footnote 2203: "The Revolution," III, 346. (Laffont II. p 258.)] [Footnote 2204: Ibid., III. 284 Laff. 213.] [Footnote 2205: "The Revolution," III., 353, 416. (Laffont II. notes pp 262 and 305 to 308.)] [Footnote 2206: "The Ancient Regime," 64, 65, 76, 77, 120, 121, 292. (Laffont I. pp. 52-53, 60-61, 92 to 94, 218 to 219.)] [Footnote 2207: "The Revolution," I., 177 and following pages. (Laffont I, pp. 438 to 445.)] [Footnote 2208: The essays of Herbert Spencer furnish examples for England under the title of "Over-legislation and Representative government." Examples for France may be found in "Liberte du Travail," by Charles Dunoyer (1845). This work anticipates most of the ideas of Herbert Spencer, lacking only the physiological "illustrations."] CHAPTER III. THE NEW GOVERNMENT ORGANIZATION. I. Precedents of the new organization. Precedents of the new organization.--In practical operation.--Anterior usurpations of the public power. --Spontaneous bodies under the Ancient Regime and during the Revolution.--Ruin and discredit of their supports.--The central power their sole surviving dependence. Unfortunately, in France at the end of the eighteenth century the bent was taken and the wrong bent. For three centuries and more the public power had increasingly violated and discredited spontaneous bodies: Sometimes it had mutilated them and decapitated them; for example, it had suppressed provincial governments (etats) over three-quarters of the territory, in all the electoral districts; nothing remained of the old province but its name and an administrative circumscription. Sometimes, without mutilating the corporate body it had upset and deformed it, or dislocated and disjointed it.--So that in the towns, through changes made in old democratic c
