Character of Legislators
in Denmark and England

So much for institutions. Now for conduct and character
of rulers, Legislators and Judges in the two countries
Denmark and England.

In Demark the evil
recognized & the root
laid bare

In Denmark [+] [+] for justification, and
explanation of the
enactive matter an
appropriate portion of rationale
attached, of the existing with [+] the existence recognized confessed
the root of them laid bare, the habitual and confirmed misconduct of subordinate and will
simplicity without the possessors of subordinate
authority simply stated and referred to their real source

here follows is not indeed the text of the law, nor as far as appears
It is by the said experience says
a translation of it. But the publication paper has the approbation of
the superior authority, and the Royal authority, or it could

In the Memoir published
by authority the
Moral and intellectual
inaptitude of Judge and
Co exposed.

which are the result of their imperfections, and the infinite difficulties
which oppose themselves to improvement in this branch of
this legislation. Chicane, Lawyercraft the influence of pettyfoggers rabulistes, the
mutual antipathy ill will of parties, the partiality of Judges, the uncertainty
in the wording of the laws, the obscurity and
darkness in which the matters of fact are so apt is so liable to be invoked
all these are so many obstacles against the resisting force of which
the improving hand has to contend. In vain have legislators endeavoured,
by wise and beneficial laws, to chase down the temerity
of pettyfoggers (rabulistes), to rouse into action the lethargic sleep
of Judges so (le sommul lethargique) (a) of Judges: in cases in
