Review of Humphreys

Emandenda miscellæ
(3 § Real and Personal

This These things considered, for my own part, on every occasion
I discard the attributions real and personal as applied
to a subject matter of property altogether: employing good reason why: were I to employ
them I sh never should I have myself exactly what I was
saying: what assurance could I have of any adequate
that a reader would have any clear conception of my own
meaning that I had have myself. On the Take now the words
immovable and moveable. These in hand, at every
step I see my way clear as I go: and of every person
to whom the distinction between rest and motion is not unknown
will I stand assured, be without effort or difficulty or
effort be at every step able to follow me.

If there be any sort of person to whose mind the
appellation immovable and moveable present doubts,
it will be the lawyer. To the mind of the boy who blacks
his shoes no such doubts, no doubts in any shape,
would be presented to him. but this is not the only part
of the field in which the shoeblack is beyond further advanced than his
learned master on the path of knowledge: between false learning
and true learning simple ignorance is the half-way
house: and the mind of the shoeblack is by so much nearer
to the truth than that of his learned master is.

The technical language being throughout discarded nothing
but the universally employed language being employed, with the necessary exception
of a few new coined words the import of which is presented without
difficulty by their analogy to the old ones what I write on the
subject of law is understood as soon as read understood without
effort by young boys who hearing of the effort made and regarded
as necessary by men grown, wonder how that can be. To Lord
Eldon I would not undertake to render either my Co Procedure Code
or my Constitutional Code intelligible, were he bound to me by a seven
years
years apprenticeship,
with no other employment
for his time.
