☞ After a few intermediate explanations proceed thus
☞ Thus moreover how want of uniformity when in so far as clear of the abuse
evils or no evil. Borough English & Gavilland no evils, do. difference between English & Scotch law

Thus it is, that of non-notoriety of the rule law of action
were no evil, uncertainty of the law would be no evil, and
if non-notoriety and uncertainty of the law were no evils
want of uniformity as between one judicial decision and
another on the part of the same Court or on the part
of different courts would be no evil.

An advantage far superior to that of uniformity of decision
a duty the operative function far superior in importance to that of security uniformity
between decision and decisions, is that of giving to the
rule of action of whatever certainty and whatever notoriety
it is susceptible of.

But to be generally known, the rule of action must
in the first place be certain and determinate. It must
have been consigned to a determinate assemblage of words, recognized
as constituting the expression of it: in a word it must
present itself to the people in the form of statutory, not jurisprudential
law: in the form of real not of sham imaginary law.
