But little by little non-lawyers will lay hold of the good
points and force them upon lawyers.

It was but t'other day the bad effects of the fee-gathering system
in other departments made rendered themselves perceptible.

Whatever is to be done in this way line whatever is done,
if anything, is to be done, if at all, by force compulsion by main force: by lawyers the man of law, under the smart or the
dread terror appre of the indignation of non-lawyers the friends the man of the people.

Under the fee-gathering system excepted), no lawyer, either
at the bar, or on the bench, will admitt a gram of
common honesty or common sense, that which it appears
pr in his view of the matter, can be ultimately kept out: for
though by this or that particular innovation separately considered,
no particular detriment may result harm may be done to the interest
of the confederacy, yet this grain of reason innoxious improvement if admitted, may let have the effect of letting in
another noxious one.

This policy doctrine has not only been uniformly pursued,
but in some instances, where the auditory composition complection of the
auditory has appeared favourable to the reception of it,
even professed.

Common sense and common honesty are therefore
in every instance without exception, mediately or immediately
hurtful, as sooner or later they will most assuredly
be fatal, to jurisprudence: in every case, and by every the
minutest particle of either, hurtful, if not by their immediate
by their more or less distant consequences; poisonous, if not
in the way of one immediately instantaneous mortal poison, in the way of a
slow one.
