Blackstone
The use of the law is one thing: the use of the
knowledge of the of an acquaintance with the state of the law – or say the use which it is another
thing. Some use every person will derive from the law
with though he has as little knowledge of it as it is possible for a
man to have. To Every madman of whom more or less
care is taken in virtue of the appropriate arrangements
made for his benefit by the law, derive the
law is in a correspondent degree of use: and so to every
infant before antecedently to the time at which it becomes
possible to him it to have received some knowledge of it.
But, in comparison of that part of the use which the law use
the law is of the use which the man can not but
derive from the law without knowing it, the utmost use
he can derive from it without knowing it is sadly
inadequate and imperfect: loss of life itself, as well as
of almost every thing on which life depends for its value
may be the consequence of the use a deficiency
in such knowledge.
