We may search Chapter IV.
of the " Principles of Ethics — The Ethics of Social Life : Justice," in vain. They have incontinently dropped out of sight.
It may be worth while to examine that part of Mr. Spencer's logical process where it is assumed that the legal theory and practice by which the British Legislature, on the payment of compensa- tion, now takes land for public purposes is identical 210 RECANTATION.
with the theory and practice by which the feudal monarch, as representing the whole
...people, was the supreme owner of land. This is all that he ventures specifically to assert, and the question raised by it is much narrower than the real question, whether the present legal theory and practice does adequately recognize the equal rights of all to land. Yet, even here, Mr. Spencer clearly suppresses the vital fact.
The taking of land for public purposes on payment of compensation — or by process of condemnation, as it is termed — is neither an exercise nor recogni- tion of the supreme ownership of land.
