Omitt
Note (a)
(a) On the table before me lies I have before me a history of the English law, in
which from first to last not the smallest suspicion is betrayed
that the system or any part of it, at any one time or any other either had or ought to have
had been directed to any sort of end any the such thing in view contemplation as an end. No object being
considered in the character of an end, whether the deviation taken by deviations or
approaches of this system at this or that point in as to the whole or any part of it
to a form any such end could have been remarked upon <add>undertaken to be exhibited to view taken for the subject of observation</add>
may without much difficulty be imagined. The very operation
of parallelism – of giving comparative views of any one branch of
the law as it stood flourished in different periods is professedly disclaimed,
all comparison between the past and the present by which alone
the past can be of any use is professedly disclaimed.† † Ref. VI.
