The abuse mischief of of this liberty, the abuse whatever
may be meant by the expression, bears it out of no
sort of comparison then to the good, to the
necessity of the use, even supposing the abuse
were destined to rage without any shadow of controul,
and were not capable of receiving
were in its nature absolutely incapable of receiving
the smallest degree of correction. The benefit
therefore of any application which undertook
to correct the use would therefore be as nothing
if it threatened in any degree to impede the use.
That there are laws might be framed by which
the abuse might be checked in a very considerable
degree without any impediment to the
use I am perfectly ready to admitt. I have
that long had in my mind and even upon paper what
to me seems adequate to the purpose. But this
hides that it is of minor is as far foreign
wide of the purpose to the suj subject. The one thing needful is
to establish the liberty: to pick out the licentiousness
of it can be done is one of the refinement, the
luxuries of legislation.
