Note (a)
Instead of non-penal, it has been common hitherto to say
civil: but in from a work that aims at being understood, all locutions
incompatible with that object must be discarded. Besides
non-penal, the epithet civil as applied to law, is
also put for non-military, non-ecclesiastical, and non-constitutional.
In all these instances its signification, though
though in its aspects positive disguised under a positive form, is in effect but negative. through In addition to these four negative
significations, it has moreover one positive one: viz: that in which it is
put to signify Roman: law that was in force among the antient
Romans, or any more modern law that has grounded upo or grafted upon that
antient law. By having been applied to so many uses, it
is become altogether unfit for any: if this be true the best course therefore
that can be taken with it is to discard it altogether. It seems
indeed not very easy to say what use it was ever was fit for:
for civil means citizen member of a political community:
civil law will therefore mean that sort of law in with which the
members of a political community have a concern: in but
what is the sort of law in which the no member of a
com political community has a concern?
