Of the Note that if reasons, when attached
to a body of law, had this any or any other bad effect nothing would be easier than to
clear it of them, and thus obviate the objection and so throughout. For It was with
a view to different classes of readers, different degrees of capacity
in respect of conception, and deplorable time, and money for purchase, that I made the
whole mass throughout divisible into so many parts three distinguishable component
parts: viz. main-text, reas expository matter, and rationale. The
main text would be intelligible without either of those two appendages,
and in that state would constitute a sort of abridgement
of he work at large: constituting the first example of an ever known, of an abridgement ever in existence
which in which is as from the same authority, the same reliance,
as far as it went might be be placed, on it as on the entire
work.

As far as regards the rationale some further exemplification
of this plan of mine may be seen, in my
Catechism of Parliamentary Reform and my Radical
Reform Bill, both of them herewith sent.

Alas! what a digression! to return to the lawyer
tribe. In From a Code of my drawing in terminis from such
as above, they would of experience the sort of annoyance above
brought to view: from the already a general sketch of it,
such as s given in the work about to be translated which has found so many translators they
would experience much less, if any, annoyance. From it
On the occasion of any code which they might have the draw
drawing of, they might adopt from it any such matter – as, without prejudice
to their particular and their sinister interest, might, be being
seen to serve the interests of the people, recommend theirs without
much prejudice to themselves, to the favour of the people. What At the same time, what
they would as effectually as possible avoid is making use of, even as far as is – every
thing that, by its subserviency to the ends of justice and
thence to the interest of the people, would lessen in any degree their own power
and emolument.
