Blackstone
Next comes Art. 8, in which we are told that
of those 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 "principally"
(he says) these: the rights of personal security of
personal liberty and of private property.
Next comes Art. 9, in which we are told – that
"the right of personal security consists in the right legal enjoyment
of life, luck, limb, body, health, and reputation.
Now those same rights what according to him
are they those same rights. For answer to the question let
us more to the several wrongs which he has
informed us are privations of those : 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 still 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 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 not a
a morsel of it left.
