29 Decr 1806
Scotch Reform To Ld Grenville

In Scotch procedure, in money cases, and those happily the
most common, which as already observed are happily the most
simple, forms, so far as the demand is concerned are in actual
use, and those upon a plain beyond comparison less bad than
the English ones: undefiled by the gratuitous mendacity, they
are clear of so much surplusage and nonsense. The 6th volume of the recently
published work collection of Mr Bill⊞ ⊞ with its highly instructive arrangements and explanations affords presents in this line of instruction a most
valuable set of documents.

So far as demands instruments of demand are concerned, and so far as compression coercive
power of forms extends, the forms might, be under
the proposed new system of pleading be, as doubtless they are under
the existing system they are of considerable use to justice – B and here
my Lord is on occasion on which the art of printing,
employed in a manner of which there are happily so many precedents
are already to be found, might also have its use: I
mean by furnishing the skeleton of those forms, with blanks to
be filled up on such individual occasion by words designative expressive of
individualizing circumstances.

But besides securing uniformity, in so far as uniformity
would be found apposite, the effect and use of those
printed forms so far as they were applicable, would be pro
tanto to supersede writing: but for the same reason that
printing in addition to writing does, printing in lieu of that supersedes
writing does not, suit the purposes of the craft.
