§.8. Prospect of adoption by other states.
If this foreigner could should be engaged to draw up
a compleat body of law [for Venezuela], and if having
been having been established as such in Venezuela
the execution of the work should stand the test of
expansion, it would stand possess no inconsiderable chance
of being adopted in other free states formed
out of the Spanish settlements in America: The In
possession of a common body of laws [would thus
be an advantage common to all these sister states
would thus find all of them a bond of union, and a common
convenience, which to Venezuela alone would
belong the glory of the example.
The same circumstances that concurr in putting
a negative upon all expectation of finding in Venezuela a hand competent
to such a task
put a negative
at least equally
peremptory upon
all expectation of
finding any such
hand in any other
of these states.
In resorting taking receiving thus from its laws from
a sister state each might in a sort of pride in national pride
a principle of reluctance which would have no
place in the case of a body of laws drawn up
by a hand alike foreign to them all.
Among the advantages that would result from
such an intercommunity of laws would be thus:—
viz. that the several states might resort to each other
for Judges. The advantage In respect of impartiality
and security against suspicion of partiality,
the advantages looked for and found in the Italian in experiences found in such an interchange
and other states have al been already spoken of.
