Constitutional Code.
When vice and absurdity has have swollen to a certain pitch, the more correct
the the more exposed it is to the charge of caricature.
Law is one of the those subjects in which if you forbear to
cover it with a varnish of by which you would be
in perpetual contradiction with your own statements, you are charged
with apply the applying to a subject to which it cannot
without be applied without cream the language of ridicule. But when an opinion or a practice is to such a degree abused as
to be ridiculous to provoke laughter either it must be so represented
or it must be misrepresented.
Those same objects have most of them be presented by Blackstone:
but with so thick a varnish in the shape of praise eulogy has he
all along been diligent in covering them, that the
of deformity have hitherto been cancelled by it to the
from the generality of eyes.
