Procedure & Evidence

☞ Give references all along to the instances as proof.

In pursuit of these sinister ends, we shall find them uniformly
proceeding, and with as efficient a cooperation as if it had
been by concert, to employ the means the but adapted to those ends.
We shall find them in the first place loading the system
upon every favourable occasion with the such imperfections as rendered it in the
highest degree subservient to those sinister interests: expence for
their own profit, intricacy in respect of the useless multitude
of steps from which that expence and consequently that profit
was extracted: delay and vexation, though not so much in the
character of directly intentional as in that of collaterally intentional
results.

In the next place, transporting forth upon every occasion
the supposed excellencies of the vitious system thus produced,
and their own merits in the quality of authors and upholders
of it: converting the very vices of it as far as
it was possible with any colour of reason – at any rate, the
reigning and view of it, the mother and
nurse of all its other views, into a source of praise for
the authors and their work: the quantity of learning, the demand and
thence the supply the of that much and universally admired commodity, being
in exact proportion to the intricacy of the subject to with which
it had to cope.

No lawyer lone writer who does not manifest his anxiety shew himself more anxious to
varnish over the defects of the law, them to hold them up to view,
nor can any varnish observation be too flimsy thin or irrelevant to be made use
of for this purpose: He considers himself as the obdurate of the system form which he draws his support although, or rather because the tendency of ans censure
is to produce the removal of the defects evils, that of apology to perpetuate
it. They are placed solely to the account of the weakness of human understanding
in general: In methods never to the account of their indisputable causes – the pursuit of the sinister ends.
