Preface
(1) (1 §. This work here for open
to objection

☞ Add mention of the remaining and indisputable
uses — viz. 1. Law as it ought to be: 2 Jurisprudence

One thing for his own sake, as well as for
ours it highly concerns the reader to be wary of.
This is the multitude of objections and charges of
mistakes that he ought to be prepared to have made
against this endeavour here employed in his against the fruit/product, of the labour here employed in the endeavour to contribute to his plant in his mind/make
him master of a mass
of matter information
of the importance of
which to him he can
not have make too high an
estimation

Of these the multitude, as well as the energy with which
they are urged will bear in altogether natural proportion
to the degree of circulation and attention which the
work it happen to the work to experience, and which is as
much as to say top the degree and extent of its usefulness.
For the reader what he can hardly be at a loss to know
is that this easy a class of men whose interest it is
that of the information which it is the object of those pages
to communicate to him, the quantity possessed by him should shall
at all times be as small as possible. How wide the extent
of this class is be it scarcely can be known be aware of without
more thought bestowed on the subject, then it is the present
occasion can warrant the application of: one portion of
this class at any rate he can not be at a loss for
It is that, the propriety of which rises is in proportion to all
his distress ignorance , and distress.

Yes, not only objections — but even at the very best
that can happen for from ill grounded objections will be capable of
springing up at every page of what is said the account here
given of Law as it is, say rather that is what it is said to be.
But if there be in this and for this there be any body in fault, who whose fault is it
that is so in fault? Who: but those by whom, without any
the slightest endeavour ever really directed to the purpose
of putting it in a better state, it has been all along left
in the state of which this is the description a man, of which endless and inconsiderable doubts are in every part the product.
