Unfortunately for the rest of the community, so it
happens that of the accidental inconveniences accidentally
attached to the Jury trial system there is not one that is
not beneficial to the man of law – not one with
which it has not been loaded and by his own hands by him for that very
purpose: while the other system, the system of natural
procedure would, in almost the same proportion as
the it would be and in so far as already introduced
is beneficial to the rest of the community, be prejudicial
to the particular and sinister interest of the man of law.

Hence in speaking of the excellence of the
Jury trial system it is has been his care to dish it out with
all those features elements of utility which though attached to
it are not peculiar to it, saying nothing of the
natural system in which the those same features, and in equal
perfection are to be found.

Hence on the other hand in speaking of the
natural system, it has been his care to bring to view mark out
all whatever such defective features happen by accident to be
connected by it – to represent them as if peculiar, when
they are not peculiar – to exaggerate the evil dangerous tendency
of them, and to say nothing of the obvious expedient remedy
by which that tendency might be compleatly done away.
