One difficulty with against which the powers of Honourable
Gentlemen have had to struggle contend with, and over which they
have not always been victorious is that which attends
the distinguishing the two correlative and unhappily
for the public us as well as for them but too closely intimately connected
objects – viz. the officer and the office.

Entities of the real class and entities of the fictitious
class are objects in themselves in a considerable degree considerably different and
yet in the conceptions or at any rate in the language of mankind
in practice as found them but too frequently confounded.
By eye has courage to endure the sight Confluence of the sort may be seen by in the eye on very delicate ground
and such is the case here.

Among real entities The distinction between a person and a thing is a
distinction of which Mr Justice Blackstone has professed
himself to be aware: but having copied it from one of the scribes
of Justinian Justinian's scribes, instead of looking for in the nature of the
case, the view he takes of it is unfortunately none of
the clearest. That a person is that sort of being which who
is capable of possessing rights, and of as well as making a good
or bad use of them, or a truth that stands beyond placed above
dispute: and if this would have contented the learned
Commentator, there would have been neither need nor occasion
for mentioning him here. But not content with
the allotment which in one of his books he has made of
rights to persons, he adds another book in which with
equal liberality he makes one allowance and in the same
shape to things. The notions suited charge so well
"That which was which he could not tell." In this case Such as between things
and things was the case with Sir Hudibras: and in this same case such as between
things and persons was the case with Sir William Blackstone.
