Codification Offer§. 4. Draughtsman Single
Now then as to Case 2. Functionary on whom whose will the ultimate
effect of the Draught alone the Code – say an all-comprehensive
one – has received the force of Law, a the
Monarch: the Monarch and his own statute draughtsmen
acting in subjection to that will, an individual
Draughtsman one.
So far as by the Monarch his interest – meaning on this occasion his self-regarding
interest – is understood by him – and interest independently of not to speak of laying out of the account prejudice and original weakness, operates(a) the
arrangements will of course frame for and the indolence, so
natural to the that situation, admitts of his passing attention to
it, the arrangements inserted will form of course, form
some particular and hence sinister interest as applied to the several parts of the field of legislation
shall have recommended pointed out: by of that one interest, of with the
addition of including of course as many other particular and thence sinister
interests as it may have pleased him to admitt into
participation of the benefit.
Note (a)
(a) Interest prejudice relative ignorance and original or inbred weakness –
to one or more of these efficient causes may every cause of aberration,
from the line of conduct most aptly conducive to the
greatest happiness of the greatest number, be referred: prejudice
being is either interest-begotten, authority-begotten,
or habit-begotten: by prejudice being meaning being meant a prepossession, in
the case in which so far as it is regarded as delusive.
Note (b)
Examples. Under Janes 1st of England Carr and Villiers recommended by
their beauty: under Charles 1st of do, Land recommended by
piety; Strafford Wentworth by loyalty and dereliction of principle. Had Bacons
Codification proposal been accepted, such are the men to whose will he would have had to accommodate his .
Whoever looks at that proposal casts a glance on that proposal, and from thence on his Natural History, may see that in Bacons day, the times were no more ripe for an all-comprehensive and rationalized Code than for a system of chemistry.
