to view, neither of these conditions any where has ever yet been realized;

framing of a system adequate to the accomplishment adapted to that purpose of

that in every civilized country State at present in existence, the
persons hands by whose whom the foundations of the system of procedure
have been laid, and the work brought down to this
our times, have been a class of persons whose professional and which as much to say thence whose personal interest
has been so circumstanced arranged as to point run in the a
course wanting little of being in a state of diametrically opposite to the
interest of the community at large – the aggregate body of those to
whose interest the work ought to primarily have been principally, and was all along professed
to be exclusively directed.
