Ch. Preface
(2) §.1. Purposes and Uses
of this work

Why set about drawing up a perfect Code of law
that is to say one which to yourself appears you expect will appear
so? why give yourself any such trouble? Suppose
your torture the of drawing it up accomplished? Can you sincerely
expect to see it in that place put to use? Can you flatter yourself
with any such hope?

Answer No. But to a man person who has leisure,
who has the means of living while the work is going on that
consideration is no sufficient reason for declining the task.
In the present instance the work must of necessity be the work
of many years say 6, 8, 10 years. Now suppose it a
settled rule that no such work shall be begun to be drawn
up till a prospect though probability of its being
immediately taken into consideration in the legislative assembly and
ultimately in conclusion adopted has presented itself — what is the consequence?
Answer that the necessary time in question — the 6. 8. —
10 years will be lost: the public for that whole length of time deprived of the receipt and enjoyment of this all comprehensive
and matchless instrument of plenty.
