Here then let us dismiss any further consideration of the Justice

ranking as co-extensive with Virtue (being the practice of Virtue

in all its bearings towards others), and of the co-relative

Injustice (being similarly the practice of Vice). It is clear

too, that we must separate off the Just and the Unjust involved

in these: because one may pretty well say that most lawful things

are those which naturally result in action from Virtue in its

fullest sense, because the law enjoins the living in accordance

with each Virtue and forbids living in accordance with each Vice.

And the producing causes of Virtue in all its bearings are those

enactments which have been made respecting education for society.
