OBSTACLES PREJUGES Profess.l Of LAWYERS Utopianism what? UTOPIANISM.

The direction and rapidity of the tide of popular sentiment cannot will not often come under
Calculation: therefore fiat experimentum.

There are two things 3 properties either of which <add>on this title serve to which characterize
that sort of political projects proposals which
may be stiled Utopian: the one is
the importing of regarding the sacrifice of private interests
<add>instead of them</add> is the , but
in the scheme sacrifice: another is,
that being fashioned so loosely &
generally, as to have no application
to practise: and third is
their being, virtuously & their being irremediably adverse to
the prevailing prejudice of the
people: [which projects otherwise
unexceptionable will sometimes
be in the inverse proportion of
their intelligence, that is inversely
as their conceptions of general utility
are clear.]
of this sort for example is the ancient
Stat. of the time of Edw. 2 called the Statute of Ragman
in which the King enjoins that no Plaintiff or Defendant should be

& unobscuring age. Of this stamp are multitudes of the Statutes of 2 or 3 past Centuries.
