ication of its capital. FOOTNOTES: [Footnote 111: _Contemporary Review_, May 1873.] [Footnote 112: These were, first, Mr. Herbert Spencer's "Bias of Patriotism," being the ninth chapter of his "Study of Sociology," first published in the _Contemporary Review_; and, secondly, Mr. W. R. Greg's "What is culpable luxury?" See below, p. 303, Sec. 135.--ED.] [Footnote 113: I take due note that Mr. Spencer partly means by his adverbial sentence that Patriotism is individual Egoism, expecting its own central benefit through the Nation's circumferent benefit, as through a funnel: but, throughout, Mr. Spencer confuses this sentiment, which he calls "reflex egoism," with the action of "corporate conscience."] [Footnote 114: See the letters on "How the Rich Spend their Money" (reprinted from the _Pall Mall_) in "Arrows of the Chace," vol. ii., where the origin of the discussion is explained.--ED.] [Footnote 115: I use the current English of Mrs. Lennox's translation, but Henry's real saying was (see the first--green leaf--edition of Sully), "It is written above what is to happen to me on every occasion." "Toute occasion" becomes "cette occasion" in the subsequent editions, and finally "what is to happen to me" (ce que doit etre fait de moi) becomes "what I ought to do" in the English.] [Footnote 116: Cahors. See the "Memoirs of the Duke of Sully," Book 1. (Bohn's 1856 Edition, vol. i., pp. 118-9.)--ED.] [Footnote 117: Where violence and brutality are punished. See Dante's "Inferno," Canto xii.--ED.] [Footnote 118: See the _Contemporary Review_ at pp. 618 and 624.--ED.] [Footnote 119: Viz.:--That if the expenditure of an income of L30,000 a year upon luxuries is to rob the poor, so _pro tanto_ is the expenditure of so much of an income of L300 as is spent on anything beyond "the simplest necessaries of life."--ED.] [Footnote 120: Referring to two anonymous articles on "The Agricultural Laborer," in the _Cornhill Magazine_, vol. 27, Jan. and June 1873, pp. 215 and 307.--ED.] [Footnote 121: See the Times of November 23rd of that year.] [Footnote 122: "Is a Christian life feasible in these days?"--ED.] [Footnote 123: See _Munera Pulveris_, Sec. 139: "No man can become largely rich by his personal will.... It is only by the discovery of some method of taxing the labor of others that he can become opulent." And see also _Time and Tide_, Sec. 81.--ED.] USURY.[124] A REPLY AND A REJOINDER.
