There is no difficulty about this in the case of guardianship, when the estate is administered in the name of the minors.

That which I have just said of the obligation incurred by talent of repaying the cost of its education does not embarrass the economist.

The man of talent, he says, inheriting from his family, inherits among other things a claim to the forty thousand francs which his education costs; and he becomes, in consequence, its proprietor.

But this is to abandon the right of talent, and to fall back upon the right of occupancy; which again calls up all the questions asked in Chapter II.

What is the right of occupancy?
what is inheritance?
Is the right of succession a right of accumulation or only a right of choice?
how did the physician's father get his fortune?
was he a proprietor, or only a usufructuary?
If he was rich, let him account for his wealth; if he was poor, how could he incur so large an expense?
If he received aid, what right had he to use that aid to the disadvantage of his benefactors, &c.?
