Evidence
Whatever good effect Be the nature and subject matter of a law and nature of a
portion of law what it may, of whatever good effect, if any, it may have been intended
to produce, the production quantity produced will depend upon the degree the extent in
which it is known. In whatever degree or extent if fails of being known,
the effects of it either amount to nothing or are pernicious.
Supposing its existence to compleatly unknown, and to be remain
for ever, such non-notoriety is compleatly tantamount to non-existence.
If it produces no good effects, so neither does it any
bad ones.
When the non-notoriety of the laws in general, or of any portion of law in particular is spoken of, and spoken
of as a cause of evil mischief, the state of things of which it is understood
to be designative must always be, a middle state between
compleat notoriety on one hand, and compleat non-notoriety on
the other: a state in which if the portion of law in with which each
man has an interest in being acquainted, the art only alone were
known to him, and not another: were known to unknown to
him at one time, known only at another: or known in
part only, to other part unknown: unknown to him when for
the purpose of his being he comes to be made to suffer by it, unknown not known to him for the
purpose of his reaping advantage from the knowledge of it, avoid
saving himself or others from his being made to suffer for the want of his
knowing of it, saving others from being sufferers for want of his
knowing it.
