Evidence Scotch Reform

With grief sympathy concern shame My Lord, I reflect on it, Reform, if it be good for anything
can not never come, without taking the whole body of professional
lawyers for its victims: with proportionate anxiety I reflect on it,
it can never come without finding in the whole body of professional
men, its enemies, its determined and irreconciliable
opponents. Neither scene spectacle is a pleasant one: but if anything
be done, contemplation must be habituated to it, and minds
made up to it.

As to the between two evils, it cannot surely on any other
ground than that of policy and practicality it cannot to the mind of a real lover of mankind, it cannot to the mind of an honest and discerning statesman a and a present ta moments
difficulty. How should it? There lies the Population Table
on the one hand, here lies the list of professional men on the other
of law not of law made misery and the opulence and comfort
of the lawyer is composed. Consider that if in this way you
were to one law family, you can not or (not that anything
like anything worse than defalcation could be the consequence
you cannot would not the one lawyer with his family
the intention of without saving from perhaps twenty others each
possessing an equal right to sympathy. Thus much as to immediate
consequences: look on to futurity there ends the evil done:
but which the good composed of the evil saved remains
as long as can in the fabrick of civilization, remains upon
another remains perhaps all the end of time.
