By means of this dedication, the substance of the article--so to speak--becomes converted into the person of the proprietor, who is regarded as ever present in its form.
This is exactly the doctrine of the writers on jurisprudence.
"Property," says Toullier, "is a MORAL QUALITY inherent in a thing; AN ACTUAL BOND which fastens it to the proprietor, and which cannot be broken save by his act." Locke humbly doubted whether God could make matter INTELLIGENT.

Toullier asserts that the proprietor renders it MORAL.

How much does he lack of being a God?
These are by no means exaggerations.
PROPERTY IS THE RIGHT OF INCREASE; that is, the power to produce without labor.

Now, to produce without labor is to make something from nothing; in short, to create.

Surely it is no more difficult to do this than to moralize matter.
