o the P 210 GERMANY. world a spectacle of magnificent prosperity and ofgeneral well-being, which the world has never seen,and which never can be attained under the sys-tem of Roman law, which makes the individualthe unit, instead of the social body. And this iswhat .they say. The modern system, the systembuilt on Roman Law, is not a natural system.Look at the human organism, which, as theApostle said, is the type of the social organ-ism. It is not the finger, and the toe, andthe tip of the ear, and the end of the nose, &c,that, endowed with individual activity and person-ality and proclivities, constitute Man ; but manhimself is the One individual, and all the partslive in and for the One, not for themselves. Such is the theory of the German Socialists,containing, indeed, an element of truth, but never-theless impracticable. It was tried in the MiddleAges, and it broke down utterly before the prin-ciple of Individualism, which is the principle of theReformation and of Modern life.
