1820 Sept 20

In Answer to Mora

Most Many of the other articles that you will find in that vast mass
that your shelves are about to be loaded with have the same tendency:
— the fragment on evidence, "Scotch Reform" on the subject of
Judicial Establishment and Procedure, "Swear not at all", on the
subject of evidence and a variety of other subjects, "Parliamentary
Reform Catechism" and "Bentham's Radical Reform Bill" on the
subject of National Representation &c &c "Church of Englandism
examined" on the subject of Ecclesiastical Establishment &c &c. Of all
these the work on Judicial Establishment, is that, which I should
expect to find would afford you most satisfaction. It has now
variety in it: it abounds more on matters of fact and arguments in
detail. It has more spirit than any other of my works: it was
written in the age of vigour of age and under the excitement produced by
hope. But why need I refer you to all or any of these works
which are all new to you, throughout that work by Dumont which
introduced you to my acquaintance, do not you see the dissimilitude
of my notions on Law to the great mass of former notions
and at the same time the badness of that same great
mass of badness in a Body of Laws consists in its unconduciveness
to the greatest happiness of the greatest number of
those who are governed by these: that all comprehensive end
and to the four subordinate ends comprehended in it
subsistence, abundance, security, and equality, as far as compatible conexistent
with security.

"Avoir nul egard Dans un code code des loix pour l'Espagne dans
son etat actuel il ne faut" avoir nul egard a la legislation des
"peuples anciens, ni aux codes adoptés chez les principales nations
"de l'Europe". Such is the theorem you in this occasion give
me to demonstrate. Well, then — I have thus endeavourd to demonstrate
it: first a priori, then a posteriori, in so far as no such a
way such a theorem is in its nature capable of being demonstrated:
demonstrated by sample for the same reason that case is sold
by sample: because a sample may with more than
then what contents of a whole the Granary, be brought in a man's pocket
