In all its details The political state to which I belong they own country being altogether out of the question a Code drawn by my hand for
any country other than my own could not be in
respect of all details necessary details be sufficiently possess the requisite
degree of compleatness particularity requisite compleat for the purpose of any political state. But
in the most important details if it were supposing it
well adapted to the purpose above great end in any one such state
it would be no less in any other: and where in so far difference
of situation called for differences in legal arrangement
general direction instruction would might stand in the place
of particular arrangements proposed in terminis: the system of
finance may afford an example.
This considered I be a paper has been drawn
up containing an offer to all addressed every without destination to such political state
if any the rulers of which shall be feel disposed to listen to it.
Should it any two political states such disposition happen
to be felt by any two political states, you will see, my judge
friends, here would be a bond of sympathy and union
of affections of the strength of which no hands can be
better judges than yours my friend have shown themselves to be.
A bond of this sort compare it with those matrimonial
bonds ones by which the two families by which the substance
of two nations is most insatiably preyed upon are bound together by
the ties of sexual intercourse.
In comparison of this what are can particular treatise be – treatise
treatise of commerce, treatise of alliance defensive or offensive, or as
matrimonial alliances between two families?
