SECT: Parts of a Law.
In the common language of the bar, damages is
often spoken of as a remedy. And the [giving] restoring
a man a thing [again] he has a right to, comes
within the notion of a remedy [in part at least]
to the wrong done him, by taking it away from
him. Out of these two ideas he has patched up
in the manner we have seen, that of a the remedial
part that is to be found, he tells told us, in every
Law.

Even here he dares not venture
[so far as] to give entire the tenor of
his example. Of the declaratory
and directory parts he gives something
that is pass for the tenor, since it
