Codification Offer
To compose is one thing: to judge of what is composed is
another and a very different thing. If this be true in
poetry
assuredly it is not less so in legislation. Of two or three hundred
men chosen by any body and any how, all might
be good critics, yet no amongst them all not one poet
fit to be read.
As to the author of this address, towards this one thing needful all that is in his power
to afford offer, he hereby offers: towards competition,
all that he can do is – to give expression to those his wishes,
supported by those his reasons.
