Common Law. Division of it into Customs and Maxims.
Inserenda
Among the different sorts of ingredients of which the Common Law is composed
twothat we have found out are these. 1st It
[The respective ideas of] Customs in for pays legalized: or perhaps to speak
more accurately the several judiciary acts of persons
judicial who to [legalizing those customs] which
have served to legalize them. 2. Customs in foro.
But there is yet a third sort; the nature of which it
will be now proper to explain. This consists of
Judiciary acts such as have served to legalize single
modes of conduct, such as not having [bearing resemblance
to any others] to meeting finding with any other
similar ones to coalesce into with a custom are perfectly
unconnected detached and singular. Such for example
may be a mode of conduct to which a man has
obliged himself by Contract: no habit of observing
a mode of conduct of the like description having
ever obtained, nor being perhaps in the nature of things
capable of obtaining.
