§2. Universal
Jurisprudence
(1) Conclusion.
Language alone universal
Of In jurisprudence, nothing
universal but the language.

Per reader, expected to find
laws and not words mainly.

Good, (say you) (we hear you saying) important indeed are these
is the import of these words — we do not deny it — and
assuredly not a language is can there be any where in
which we should not expect along with you to find the equivalent
of it. But still these are but words: and when we
were told of Jurisprudence what we expected was assured to us to find
was laws: and where Universal Jurisprudence Universal
laws: laws which are established and held
as binding every where.

Author. We must refer you
for this to another Shop,
where they do not furnish
what you have just seen,
what they do is best known
to Professors.

[Authors.] Gentle readers if nothing will serve
you but Universal Laws [it is we to supply you is we confess more than we
can do to supply you.] Those all Our shop contains No such ware are
to be had not any such ware at our shop. All we can do for you, is
to refer you to another some other shop, where they profess to
sell the articles and you something under this name.
What they do not supply is not to be had at these
shops is what you have just been seeing: what
is to be had there is best known to the Shop keepers
I mean the Professors of this same Jurisprudence, alias
Universal Jurisprudence.

Legal arrangements transport for
Security be every where —
but nothing universal except
the language

Not but in every state, society is some
how or other kept together, and it is by legal arrangements —
obligatory arrangements of some sort or other
that the effect is produced: under the name security for person or property
in some sort and degree established — under the name of
offences and criminal acts by which that security is or
is supposed to be dispatched, in some way or other punished and thus in some
degree or other repressed. But all this is bit so much
talk about law, and foremost as this is not therefore the talk is
not about what Law ought to be, — where is the great
use of it? Once more ask the learned Gentlemen — the Doctors
and other Professors. As to a law which in the terms of it has
place
place in every nation
or even in any every
civilized nation — no
such law could they you be
able to give you be able to get from them no such
law would they be able
to find.

In conclusion — the result is — that in Jurisprudence nothing is there then that can with truth be called styled Universal, but the language.
