1830. Sept. 1.
Review
1
Law reform means particularly
procedure reform.
Occupied in it Bentham
& Brougham: their plans
forming a contrast.
2.
Proper standard of comparison
Bentham – his
being earliest & most
comprehensive.
3
Bentham's a model.
Brougham's a beacon.
4
Of Brougham's, tendency
& objects increasing not
diminishing the evils.
5.
Brougham's character more
dangerous than any other
to England's happiness –
the counterpart of Polignac
& Peyronnet not
excepted.
6.
Result this of the adverseness
of his interest
in his view of it to
the public interest, at
the expense of which he
will try to purchase
the power he aims at.
7.
Of both persuasions follow
the grounds beginning
with Law Reform: proportioned
to the danger
the service done by
the warning.
8.
Behold now the method: for
fairness as well as intelligibility.
9.
Bentham's plan being universally
accessible reference
to it will suffice: Brougham's
plan, not; thence quotation
needful for fear of misrepresentation.

10
Of particularity further use
the instruction afforded by
exposure of the matchless
blemishes.
11.
Completeness of the exposure
being by the multitude impossibilized,
selection of topics
has been necessitated: viz
1. Law, cognoscibility.
2. Justice, accessibility.
3. Judges, number.
4. Judges' sitting times.
5. Judges' &c payment.
6. Special Pleading
7. Reinquiries & removals
8. Expense
9. Draughtsmanship
10. Brougham's political career.
12
For understanding all along
what, according to each,
Law ought to be, necessary
all along it will be to
see, under each topic, what
the law is – hence Sub-topics
three –
1. Matchless Constitution Plan
2. Bentham's Plan
3. Brougham's Plan.
12*
Eradicating the Upas tree,
Bentham's plan – grafting
it, to heighten the flavour
of the fruit, Brougham's.
