Procedure – First Series
Ch. Costs.

In speaking of the course taken for excluding
the vast majority from the protection of the
Law, a necessary limitation was applied under and the
words 'in so far as possible' were employed in the application
of it. In England, not to speak of other
countries, in the nature of the case, the completion
of this design has not been possible. What has
excluded the possibility, is the difficulty of drawing
a determinate line of separation between those
whom it has been intended to sacrifice, and those
for whose benefit the sacrifice has been intended
to be made. Under favor of certain circumstances,
this difficulty has been either entirely removed or
lessened. In the West Indies, and other parts of America,
the difference of colour has afforded the
means of effecting a complete removal; and thus
it is that in those countries the greater part of
the population have been placed and kept in a
situation which would be the same as that of
the brute creation, were it not for that sympathy
so frequently felt for the four-footed slaves,
instead of that antipathy so uniformly felt toward
the two legged ones. In Ireland, the line of separation
being no other than that which is drawn by
profession in matters of religion, is less manifest:
and to this want of distinctness are nine tenths
of the people indebted for their not having been
as yet brought into that perfection & good order
so completely established in the other hemisphere.
In the here proposed system, the design is now for the
first time pursued of extending to all persons, as far as
possible without distinction the protection & benefit of the law.
