It implied so much generosity, and such a vigour of public spirit, as to be utterly beyond the reach of fallen nature. However, that form of communism which entailed an absolutely even division of all wealth among all members of the group, though it had come to them on the authority of Phileas and Lycurgus, was indeed to be reprobated, for it contradicted the prime feature of all creation.
But since a person of most respectable judgment, the consul, Marcus Porcius, has reprobated our motion, not only by the influence of his opinion, which, had he said nothing, would carry very great weight, but also in a long and careful discourse, it becomes necessary to say a few words in answer.

"The demand was so loudly reprobated that M. Barrot immediately said he made the proposal in entire submission to the majority." "And what said Dupin?" asked Ledru Rollin, eagerly. "Dupin said the first thing necessary for the capital was order. Anarchy must cease. The Ministry could not at the same time occupy themselves in re-establishing order and in caring for their own safety.
This maximum rate the Centesima remained in operation until the time of Justinian. While the taking of interest was thus approved or tolerated by Greek and Roman law, it was at the same time reprobated by the philosophers of both countries.
