It Having a friend in the Navy, who now
bears one of the first title the first title in that profession, I took notice
many years ago of a mark he had on
his wrist. It consisted of his name at length, imprinted exhibited in characters of a deep blue. It had been
made imprinted in his childhood and he was then verging
to old age.(a) Note
(a) Upon enquiry I found
that in the navy it
was not very uncommon.
I have seen
several instances of it
since. Parts of bodies
thus stained exhi
have been preserved in
spirits and are exhibited
by Dr Hunter
in his lectures. The idea struck me: and why,
said I to myself, (might not this idea be should not the practice be made)
universal Polychrest? What could be a stronger preservative could there

the principle of utility. In the last place, for the
sake of those who look for exam think themselves possessed
of a better standard than that of utility for trying
the excellence of a law, I shall give a very short
specimen of the manner in which, the a question may be of this sort might
be debated in the cohue des enquêtes(b) (b) A name by which
given to the giddy & volatile part
of the French Parliament
by the Cardinal de Retz, mere rhetoric in the
sentimental stile.
