Blackstone, as if it were matter of peculiar ,
Blackstone up the injustice shops in the profit of
which he had a his share against those rural shops, with profit of the shares in which he had
no shares in speaks of the Romanists, of both orders,
temporal and spiritual, civilians and canonists, as reaping
from those and other such practices is of perjurers from oaths seen in this and that and other part of the field
of litigation, "a harvest of perjuries": as if the mischief
of testimonial perjury were anything different from that of
the mendacity to which it gives cover and success: as if,
under the fee-gathering system there were any one set of
Judges – any one set of Lawyers, to whom a crop of perjuries
was less acceptable, in the endeavour by whose exertions made
to produce such crops less sincere and strenuous than another:
as if under any branch of that system it ever had failed to be, or, in the nature of things ever
could cease to be, an object of their endeavours to place
and preserve the public mind in both branches of
it, moral and intellectual, in a state of depravity depravation as
consummate compleat as possible.
