Plea Order
Private before Public
Gubernia. Madam with submission this is not the order
pursued by Doctor Blackstone: if I am wrong in saying so,
he will correct me.
Astrea. I know it. But his object charge was not altogether
the same with the power, the primary object was to recommend
his work: to favour of the constituted authorities: ours is to
entreat and by the institution save and benefit those for whose
sake they have been or ought to have been so constituted.
By In consequence of the courses he has taken so taken by him you will accordingly find the explanation
given by him not so clear as it might have been made and
will be made. Public is to Private what plead is to .
He begins with sets about explaining pleads before he sets any thing is
said any explanation given of the singular of which they
are composed. He speaks of more a few considered as governors, before
speaking of the many considered as governed. Had but he left
off at the part with which he began, the his work would to the
great majority of the people have been valued practical use,
whereas in by use beginning taking in hand first that which be taken in
hand has the information given will be found to such a degree
and awful and interesting that whatever comes after
it will be found comparatively valueless, not being of use
to any person any then as b it happens to him to
take part in or apply himself to the affairs of government.
In a word If it be of use to every person it be of use to know what
rights the King has, it is still more plainly and considerably
of use to him to know what rights he himself has: and so
on as in regard to obligations: especially when he comes to see
that the right which the King has can by no other means be
understood than by means of understanding the rights which he himself has.
The right which an individual has to the hat he has on
his head, is of more immediate and certain importance to him
than the right which the King has to his crown. The machinery by which
the individual right is created and conferred is more simple than
than that by which the
Kings right is created and
conferred: the operation of
when explained will be found more
easily intelligible to
like manner the obligation
which the individual
is under from of abstaining
from without his consent with what was not belong to him — with the last for example that belongs to another individual, compared with the obligation
which the King is under as to the calling of Parliament.
