Conclusion

Of the burthen with which in the shape of the collateral inconvenience delay, vexation
and expense the technical system is every where loaded, the inormity is
too palpable to be disputed or dissembled: dissembled, even by those who by every imputed bond tie
of interest and prejudice are urged tied down to the defence of
it. The current plea is that all this collateral inconvenience
is necessary, or at least conducive, to attainment of the
main object, the avoidance of misdecision: that the submission
to the burthen of the collateral the lesser inconvenience is the price necessarily
paid, and amply compensated by the exemption by which
mankind are liberated from the direct and more intolerable mischief grievance:
and if it not directly asserted, it must a position an opinion is
at any rate insinuated; and must for the purpose of the defence argument
be introduced accredited, that the quantum of advantage thus obtained
varies increases in proportion to the quantum of the price thus paid.

Common Place on behalf
of technical procedure,
the inconvenience of it
in the press of delay vexation &
expense is necessary and proportioned
to the superiority
of the direct
justice produced by it.

In
In the course of the present book it will be seen whether the
sum of the advantage thus supposed to be purchased, and purchased at
so high a price, is positive, or equal to a, or negative. In the rationale of the future another work on
procedure it will be seen whether some conception will be
endeavoured to be conveyed of the amount of that burthen sum of inconvenience
by which the mass of inconvenience attached in the shape of
expense delay vexation and expense to the technical system of
procedure exceeds the mass of like nature attached to the natural
system of procedure. It will be seen then, nor
can it till then, be seen, in any sufficient detail, how enormous
the price is which in that shape — men have are every where been found
to pay not for nothing, but for much worse not for superior but for inferior justice.
not for stirling but for
base and counterfeit justice.

10
contra the direct
justice is all
the worse for it;
see this present book:
and the price paid for
it is all in waste.
