Blackstones Divisions Absolute
(7 § Rights & Wrongs?

Art. 8. Absolute rights and
rights of personal security,
liberty, & private property —
still not relative.

Next comes Art. 8, in which we are told that
of these same absolute rights which still are not relative, those which
are absolute rights or (say) civil liberties of Englishmen
have been frequently declared , and he proceeds to tell us what they are, they are "principally"
(he says) these: the rights of personal security of
personal liberty and of private property.

Art. 9. Rights of personal
Security an legal enjoyment
of life, limb, body, health
& reputation

Next comes Art. 9, in which we are told — that
"the right of personal security consists in the right legal enjoyment
of life, lust, limb, body, health, and reputation.

For these let us see wrongs
i.e. privations of those rights.
Here so many things a man
may be deprived of, without
it seems ceasing to be a man
Think of the appearance of
one — after losing life — to
be deprived of health &c.

Now these same rights what according to him
are they these same rights. For answer to the question let
us turn once more to the several wrongs which he has
informed us are privations of these same: for according to him
every wrong is a privation of right. Here then one or any
good things any of which a man it may happen to a
man to be deprived of, and able as it should seem of each and every one of them without
ceasing to be a man. Now then think of the sort of appearance
a man would make and what would be his condition if after being deprived of life he should
it should happen to him to be deprived first of his a limb, then of
his body, then of his health, and lastly of his reputation: if
his reputation every inch of it: in such sort as him
a morsel of it left.
