Ch. English practice
1 Parallel between
Juridical and Medical
practices

(1)

Modus procedendi

1.
Juridical & medical
practice similarity

When English practice comes to be considered, comes
throughout the parallel between juridical and medical
practice: acknowledge at the outset that in the phrase
body politic body is figurative and improper: but
that the impropriety ends there and that in
all the details the assumed correspondency is strictly
correct. Topics exemplified

1 in No of Judges & Physicians

1 No of Judges and Physicians: one for some cases, four
for others: hundred for others for others

2 in interruptedness of
the proceedings

2. It Interruptedness of the proceedings: in each individual
case a day's delay beyond what is necessary unjustifiable

3 All judges beyond one
so much waste of time

3. All that is done by the 4 Judges (not to speak of the reporters)
is so much waste of time: exceptions excepted
to an inconsiderable amount — everything so done worse than
useless: which of the four, all above one are nuisances

4 Conspicuity of weakness
of reason — strength of
authority & habit

4 In no part of the field of thought and action is the
weakness of reason, the strength of authority and habit
more signal and conspicuous

2
Actual juridical practice
might as well be if applied
to medical cases, would
not produce greater
evil than it does in
juridical cases

More measurable than blandness is his plea on religion.
The application of juridical practice to medical cases
would to every eye appear monstrous, a preparation for
it if serious, conclusive proof of insanity. Why?
because nobody is used to it? There is no authority
for it. No dispute or lack of dispute has in any instance established it
But though applied to medical cases it might be somewhat more mischievous
it could not be more palpably repugnant to reason
and common sense and altogether indefensible than
it is applied to juridical cases.

Vituperation, neglect, silence falling — these are
the only answers
