Ch. General View Established Practice

Such being the securities possible securities for trustworthiness
in evidence – the securities afforded by the nature of the
case to the legislator who has whose intelligence may are
enable him and whose probity probity may enable and prompt
him to employ them, it remains to give a general view
of the extent to which they have actually been employed
by legislators in the existing state of things.

Here On this part of as in every other of the field of
evidence, he I confine my view to the two most illustrative
systems of suitors, the Roman and the English.

Look at which as well, the characters of imperfection incompetence and
inconsistency will be but too prominent and incontestable. In the
Roman, more the leading feature will be its
radical and compleat incompetence: in the English, its infinitely diversified variegated and still more blameable scandalous inconsistency.
In the roman, an insensible stupidity blindness, the fruit of long-rooted
prejudice practice: in the English what is most exalted, what is but universally recognized as such in language:
what is best the best and the worst and what is worst what is most exalted and
most absurd promiscuously employed in practice.

By the original adoption growth of good and bad together, all
the would is the claim of wisdom is but too
effectually disproved on the part of past generations of men
of law: by the preserving and promiscuous continuance of
good and bad together the praise of probity – of the pure and all pure and
genuine affection for truth genuine love of justice is but too incontestably disproved on the
part of their successors.
