Conveyancing

own mind to that of another person are have to understand is,
Law is one of those subjects in which the attainment
of this and is of most importance. This nobody much is what is denied by no one. It is that in which
it is stands loaded with the greatest difficulties. This if it be denied shall be fully proved.
or stands loaded with the greatest difficulties. If
those difficulties were natural, settled entailed on the subject
in perpetuity by the constitution of things,
there would be no hope. Happily they are artificial.
By art and study they were planted: by art and study they may be rooted out.
They are Entailed, they are but that entail, it
is in the power of any man of a certain degree
of and discernment to cut off. The Law
which as the phrase is abhors perpetuity on the instruments of engagement – even in beneficial subjects
is not so unhappily constituted, as to be loaded in perpetuity of its own abuses.

I am sorry to say observe, that in every particular
in which the legal forms of expression legal discourse (in use in
Law) differ from that the common in common use, those
differ to their disadvantage. (Those particulars
are numerous. I will endeavour to (now) collect and
methodize them). What is called legal stile is
a jargon no less as adversary to the purposes it professes
to seek, than it is disgusting and uncouth
to the generality of mankind apprehensions. It is like those
nauseous medicines which torture the palate
and clog the stomach without benefiting the
constitution.

The ancient forms of Conveyances were of that
brevity, as without much inconvenience to be
includable in a single sentence.
