A caution To a memento an observation state of things thus obvious, it could scarcely happen
one should have thought, to be overlooked
to fail in any instance to experience of experiencing due observance.
If have however, with any tolerable degree of steadiness,
in any system country of laws and especially in the English England
it was observed the law of that country would wear
a face widely different from that which it wears at present.
Where the face prohibition is affirmed by the law is that of a prohibition,
if in this case the penalty being nothing merely but
pecuniary, the amount of it is fixt as limited, while
the profits of the offence are variable, the odds are that
in many instances, the penalty even if levied, which
could not be without detection prosecution and conviction
would but operate as a taxed licence.† † Introd. Ch. Proportion
