The Ego and His Own Part 48

[156] [_kuschen_, a word whose only use is in ordering dogs to keep quiet.]

[157] [This is the word for "of age"; but it is derived from _Mund_, "mouth," and refers properly to the right of speaking through one's own _mouth_, not by a guardian.]

[158] ["occupy"; literally, "have within"]

[159] [The word _Genosse_, "companion," signifies originally a companion in _enjoyment_.]

[160] [This word in German does not mean religion, but, as in Latin, faithfulness to family ties--as we speak of "filial piety." But the word elsewhere translated "pious"

(_fromm_) means "religious," as usually in English.]

[161] [It should be remembered that the words "establish"

and "State" are both derived from the root "stand."]

[162] [_huldigen_]

[163] [_Huld_]

[164] What was said in the concluding remarks after Humane Liberalism holds good of the following,--to wit, that it was likewise written immediately after the appearance of the book cited.

[165] [In the philosophical sense (a thinking and acting being), not in the political sense.]

[166] ["_Creation de l'Ordre_," p. 485.]

[177] [See note on p. 184.]

[178] [The words "cot" and "dung" are alike in German.]

[179] _E. g._, "_Qu'est-ce que la Propriete?_" p. 83.

[180] [_Einzige_]

[181] [A German idiom for "take upon myself," "a.s.sume."]

[182] [Apparently some benevolent scheme of the day; compare note on p. 343.]

[183] In a registration bill for Ireland the government made the proposal to let those be electors who pay 5 sterling of poor-rates. He who gives alms, therefore, acquires political rights, or elsewhere becomes a swan-knight. [See p. 342.]

[184] Minister Stein used this expression about Count von Reisach, when he cold-bloodedly left the latter at the mercy of the Bavarian government because to him, as he said, "a government like Bavaria must be worth more than a simple individual." Reisach had written against Montgelas at Stein's bidding, and Stein later agreed to the giving up of Reisach, which was demanded by Montgelas on account of this very book. See Hinrichs, "_Politische Vorlesungen_," I, 280.

[185] In colleges and universities, etc., poor men compete with rich. But they are able to do so in most cases only through scholars.h.i.+ps, which--a significant point almost all come down to us from a time when free compet.i.tion was still far from being a controlling principle. The principle of compet.i.tion founds no scholars.h.i.+p, but says, Help yourself, _i. e._ provide yourself the means. What the State gives for such purposes it pays out from interested motives, to educate "servants" for itself.
