Preface or Conclusion
(4 §. Adequacy of this Code
7
One objection adduced to improvement
You cannot provide for
everything
Among the exertion made endeavours/arguments employed which since
some recent occurrence have set to work
for stopping the purport of improvement and securing against
denunciation the multitude of those who addition every year made
added to the number of those who by and for the benefit
of lawyers are punished for not knowing what for this purpose they have
been carefully kept under an impossibility of knowing —
one is. You can not provide for any every thing; therefore
you ought not to provide for any thing more than what
has been provided for already
8
To understand this argument
apply it 1 to substantive
laws 2 to medicine
To understand the form and virtue of this argument,
the aptitude moral and intellectual of those by whom
it has been employed employ it to other branches of
art and science
1. Without going out of the field of legislation, apply it to laws.
2. Apply it to medicine. You are all diseases.
why give yourself so much trouble in the endeavour to see
any more than you can already?
