1828 Aug. 30
Blackstone

use of it, here to render intelligible
things not familiar

Readers &c

This being the case, what need or use can this
be for that sort of discourse, you may naturally enough not work on the subject of law, in a book of law? The use
of it is this — that the more familiar it is, the better the promise
it affords of producing the effect of reading clear clearly understood
those things which are not familiar.

First to Law as it is. Thro'
Jurisprudence we shall see
Law as it ought to be — a
Standard to try Law as it is

The things thing to for the explanation of which we shall have
occasion to apply make application of it ar is in the first place Law as it
ought to be, [the Law as it is — and lastly Law as it is
pretended to be.]

When through the instrumentable medium of Universal Jurisprudence
we have come to see and understand arrived at seeing and understanding what Law ought to be be — in other words a Law as it ought
to be
, we shall then have a standard of reference to which, we can,
all along as we go, apply Law as it is: and on this standard
of reference we shall have the features to which we can all
along apply and compare Law as it is, with a view to
our being in the one case satisfied with the thing as it is, and grateful to those and those who have made it
what it is, in the other case disposed whatsoever, consistently
with propriety can be done by us towards rendering it nearer
and nearer to what it ought to be, than as yet we have found seen
it to be.

As it pretends to be,
much nearer to it than as
it is — as per Blackstone
to whom we shall refer
for details

As what it pretends to be — it will be but too visible
and too incontrovertible — that throughout what it pretends to it is pretended to
is all along much nearer than it actually will be seen found to
be to what it is, and in particular what it is by Blackstone
pretended to be by Blackstone from to whom in nor the account we
shall give of what it is, we all shall along make reference for
the author, and to whom we shall moreover refer you the reader
for such details, as it consists not with the design of the present life
guard to bring attempt to bring to view.
