Thus much having been said in regard to a certain rank of ends:
we proceed to ends of a in the higher order in the ætiological scale, such
ends as with relation to those others, operate stand in the character of means.

Under the head of natural procedure, we have seen that course of those dictates principles
of common sense enquiry by which the those grand objects of judicial enquiry are compassed
and compassed at once, bringing the truth and the whole truth to light, bringing it to light
at the earliest possible period, and in the purest state: the termination goal and
of the cause suit either reached at the bound, or at the worst the whole
future course of it marked out and delineated brought to view, as in a mass, by reciprocal
allegations, examinations, admissions indications and explanations: all, under the with the benefit of the
same security in respect of truth against mendacity and temerity as that which is wont to be
applied to men in the character of witnesses: all without any
need or use, unless in here and there a particular instance of the
expensive and an burthensome, and in a general view necessarily treacherous assistance assistance of a set of labourers having acting under together together under the impulse of an interest opposite to

Judge, the author of this violence, was by the ties of a sort
of partnership, not the less close but the closer for being dormant.

3. To substitute or superadd preface to the necessary viva voce explanations
of the natural system a quantity mass of useless – no of worse than useless
writing, and that of course as long as any preference could be found for making it.
