In the above disquisition, what is affirmed is as follows:
1. That, on the ground of the reasons above brought to view
the draught of the original Code being all-comprehensive and rationalized is to be
in so far as life permitts, the whole of it the work of one and
the same hands: 2. and that it is not to be the work of
any person or persons invested with any share in the sovereign
operative power: it being reserved for them to go to
work upon it and put the last hand to it, and finally
put attach their sanctions to a Code of the description in question
containing so much, if any thing, of the original Code
as they shall have approved of: and that if in case of
competition, if as a foreigner two Codes already
drawn, ar on all other grounds possessing an equal
claim to acceptance, that one having for its draughtsman
a native, the other a foreigner, the one drawn by the foreign
hand has affords as far as it goes (for there seems little
probability of its being by any such hand rendered in
all its details compleat) possesses the fairest title to acceptance,

there can not be anything like a full assurance, the case of
its being the work of a native can not be left out of the
account.
