(21 STATUTES LAW. Kinds of Statutes. Public and Private.

"A statute which concerns the king is a public
"one: For every subject has an interest in the
"King who is these head of the body politic and
"consequently ought to be as sensible that which
"affects him as a member of the natural body
"is of what the head at any time feels." + Touch upon
the king & before a lawyer and you may be
sure of rhetoric at any time, if not of sense.
To paragraph "The statute
"made in the time of Henry the sixth," says the
same complier, II "by which all corporations and
"Licences granted by that Prince are declared
"to be void, was holden to be a private statute,
"because as it does not include all corpora—
"tions it is not general but particular in a
"generality, or, to speak with more property,
"general in a particularity.III

This is but a small scantling, but of a large
heap of propositions, that are to be found in the works, all equally satisfactory: and
Tis with these materials before him that our Author
sets out and tells us, that of statutes are two kinds: of stat—
utes the one public; the other private.
