29 Decr 1806
Scotch Reform To Ld Grenville

In England, though alas! there is no such code, there
is – though a most wretched miserable and unworthy substitute
there is a substitute for it: – there is that compost long skill of
lies and nonsense and surplusage above mentioned – including
the few pearls pearly drops of good sense that are almost lost in it.

In the mass of adjective law thus composed, the existence
of a correspondent mass of substantive law, a ground
without which it would have nothing to stand upon – nothing
to give effect to is assumed. But assuming this the existence
correspondent mass of substantive law, it constitutes – in by
means
virtue of the correspondence – and though in a most
miserably weak and ricketty form – it constitutes creates generates it.
By a sort of relation it to a certain degree determines it: In one being given, the
other though in a miserably loose way, and not in terminis
nor anything like it, is given also: it is given, as in a
triangle, one side and two angles being given, though with a very different the other parts are
given also.
