four things there are, to distinguish
which clearly from each other was and
still continues to be found a task of no
inconsiderable difficulty, these are –
1. the service demanded of the Judge
at the charge of the proposed Defendants,
say in one word the demand: 2. the
portion of Law on which the demand
was grounded; 3, the individual matter
of fact, which, it is alledged, has brought
the individual case within the sort of
case, for which the provision has been
made by the law: 4. the evidence or say
the proof, by which the existence of these
same facts was required and expected
to be made manifest: not to speak of
the law where, there not being any really existing
portion of law bearing on the sort
of case, the existence of a portion of law
adapted to the plaintiff's purpose must
of necessity be assumed: assumed – that
is to say created by imagination, in a
form, adjusted in some way or other to
the demand. Correspondent was the course
necessary to be taken on the Defendants
side.

As to the demand, next to nothing

useless written instruments, stiled pleadings.
Behold, in the first place, the use and demand
there was for instruments of this sort; meaning
always with reference to the sinister
interests of Judge and Co. then afterwards
their particular nature.

By the unintelligibility given to
the language, absolutely considered, not
inconsiderable was the profit gained: comparatively
speaking, relation had to what
could be done, and was done accordingly,
very little.

Of the French language, the
usefulness to Judge and Co., was wearing out.
Not to speak of amicable and commercial
intercourse, war was, ever and anow,
sending Englishmen into France, lower
and higher orders together, by tens of thousands
at a time. Under Edward the third,
a hundred thousand at one time made that
fruitless visit to the walls of Paris.

While the use of the French language
was thus spreading itself so was
the art of writing, and with it the use of
the Latin language: among the priesthood
it was common: and among the earliest
lawyers were Priests.

Now was come the time for pressing
preeminently useful art, and not altogether
useless erudition into the service of discourse.
