Excerpt from The Yale Law Journal, 1897, Vol. 6 The early and negative notion of justice is Wholly material, and expresses a relation between measurable things and quanti ties. According to this idea, there is no debt of injury that cannot be paid, and none that Should not be. Duty consists in in?icting an equal injury upon an enemy. A little extra dam age may safely be done, as he will be certain to retaliate, and Whatever is done against him now will be so much to our credit on the next account. Such a conception, of course, contemplates perpetual antagonism as following from a law of nature, and therefore, to be expected. There is no logical stopping-place in a series of settlements upon this theory, where every truce is only a rest in preparation for a new aggression.
