1828 Sept. 2
Blackstone or Civil Code

Sweet things fruits all these. Behold now the bitter from
which they spring. See Observe how in each instance all along they correspond the
one to the other.

This done you shall see in all its ramifications
the tree from which they both spring: out of which they both grow.
☞ viz a Command

Of the relation as between right and obligation –
between a right and the correspondent obligation an explanation
will be given presently, in the meaning meantime let us
take cognizance see if obligation and the fictitious entities commanded with it
can in a group considered by itself.

1. Taken by itself every obligation is an evil.

2. Correspondent to an obligation in all or most cases is a
burthen: to impose an obligation is supposing no equivalent benefit
thereby conferred on the same person is to impose a burthen.
But there are occasions in which the word obligation with the conjugates with it may be employed, while
in those same cases the word burthen with its conjugates
could not with equal convenience be employed. ☞ Quere?

Correspondent to every benefit is a service, a service
which consists in rendered by the conferring of the benefit: no such correspondent
fictitious entity is there to burthen or obligation
or burthen. Supposing a necessity or convenience in meeting
one, the name of it might perhaps be – an anti-service.
