Accident, with us, is the parent of Legislation.

Stamp Act — Appeal Hare leads the Huntsman We run in a heat from after one object to another,
upon the as Lord Bacon phrases
it, upon the spur of the occasion — a
brilliant expression, which that has pretty
much gone abroad of late, but which
has not yet produced will be a long time yet in it's effect.

If an improvement has no visible connection
with the purposes interests of a party, it finds us
in a lethargy; if it has, in a fever.

We judge from one principle one day, and
from it's opposite the next.

and strive to represent it to the public as impracticable
in proportion as their fears represent it
probable otherwise to themselves.

The mode of Appeal is but one particle
in the [discordant] and] shapeless mass
of Criminal Procedure. It has caught
the attention

It must have some hold to upon the passions,
it must bear some relation to the altercations
of the day, it can raise up an
interest strong enough to support the mind under
the fatigue of thinking.

What need have I to fatigue myself about a
proposition which will neither bring mortification
to my enemies nor credit to my
friends?

The first enquiry is, not what a measure
is, but who proposes it. tis a compendious
way, this last, of knowing good from evil.
To eat an apple could not be more so.
To answer the first a man must have studied
the Law, he must have passed his judgments,
he must have formed his System,
for the latter, he wants nothing but the
Court Calendar and eyes to read it.
