Scotch Reform Evidence To Ld Grenville

Non-Lawyer. Indeed? Well, to be sure, that's what
I should be very glad to hear, so it be but true.

Lawyer. You love liberty, do not you? I mean English
liberty, political, constitutional liberty that which distinguishes
us so much to our advantage from all other
nations.

Non-Lawyer – Don't doubt it, my friend – but what
of that?

Lawyer. English liberties you acknowledge, are all
founded upon law?

Non-Lawyer – Why, I suppose they may be: at least
in a great measure: but what is all this to lead to?
Yu accused me But now you were for annexing charging me
of speculation: and this about liberty and how not
very new indeed – but is it not rather speculative
but a little upon the speculative order, is not it? We
shall come to Terra firma, I hope, at last?

Lawyer. Have patience. The law is the support
of English liberties: the lawyers are the guardians, the
supporters of the law: unless they were respectable they could
not support it: and unless they were rich, they cold
not be respectable.

For A sorites, if that was what you meant to treat me
a very respectable one, I must confess you have made of it.
Yet still somehow or other, and with all your avenues
to theory, we are not yet down or yet much lower than
the clouds. Are we to come down land on Terra firma at last;
my good friend Sir, accept of my assistance.
