Quere whether to be sent all to Mora? Better reward for
eventual use in case of acceptance of the offer of Codification

Men were to Anglais were not Le
in its less numbers a law it

But the law and until a
can be

On the occasion of a body of laws you are under
a disadvantage in comparison of a despotism: and that disadvantage
is a most disheartening one. Under a despotism
a body of laws want nothing but to be drawn up,
when drawn up the giving authentication to it is but the work
of an instant. If When it was Thus it was with Bonapartes
Codes: miserably not ill adapted as they were to their professed
ends, still they constituted a body of really existing law:
they rendered the rule of action uniform, and banished
the importance of law, the unwritten laws and
by so doing, had they been still worse than they are they
would have rendered as they have rendered, to the country an inestimable benefit.

But in the meantime and untill a body of law
in can have been composed and authenticated
what is to be done?, what can be done for justice?
I can think of but one thing, and that one thing is
Publicity of Judicature. On every occasion, let the doors
of all the normal judicatories be open to all the body of the
people at large – as open as the Churches. To be promptly
and materially introducible an expedient having in view the the applying a check to malpractice – all
its several shapes, must be to the last degree simple. This character applies
to that same publicity or to nothing. Nothing else, I am
but too thoroughly convinced can be of any considerable use.
