In this insecurity, see
the natural punishment
of aristocratical
injustice: to crown
one child, all the rest
sacrificed

Turn back now to the United States. There Compared with what it is in England, there all is simplicity:
there all is certainty. The lawyers men of law the people
have their chances but their only the use of law

Not finding in that happy country any such aristocratical
injustice to work upon, the importers and the manufacturers of law have been forced to learn that
breach of law in to its natural simplicity, cleared free from
the confusion in which every part remains involved which they have imported
from this country, and which they the people of that country have the weakness
to suffer to remain unexterpated. remains

Only by the hand of
judicature are
rights of property kept
from subversion.
Here financiers and
lawyers left to one out
of ten the faculty of
purchasing its assistance?

The rights of property? these as well as all
other rights — by what is there that is by him is that if they are
kept, they are kept from subversion, but the hand/power of
justice judicature? And this protecting hand — what is the number
of the people to whom, in England, the financier and his confederate
the fee-fed Judge together, have left the faculty of purchasing
so much as a chance for its assistance?
Is it in so many much as the one out of ten? The account
be may some time or other be thought worth taking: scarcely could I I should
not expect
hope to find it so large.

True, in U.S. by
such English forms
as the people have
still the weakness to
endure, lawyers still
keep a part of them
in outlawry: still
in the condition of that
people in comparison of
this in that respect more able

In the United States, true it is, that, by the
help of such of the English forms as his countrymen have
still the weakness to endure the men of law has contrived for he was brought by his exertions
himself properties from the
of justice to keep his fellow citizens in but
as large a number proportion in a state of outlawry: still however,
such is the clearance made, that, in this respect, in comparison of the English
litigant subject the condition of the United American litigant Citizen —[+] [+] — the security his
rights of property
have against subversion —
is still
an ? enviable one:

£28,000 the value of a mass of property put settlement
on the occasion of a marriage, £2,700 the costs of the Conveyance
Some years ago this was stated to me as a fact in his knowledge by a conveyancer
of the first eminence
