1826. July Aug. 1
Penal Code.

For the indication of supposed imperfection – of all work on the
subject that which approaches nearest to perfection is manifestly
the most apt subject of consideration: and in regard to all other reference made by the selection of this in
so far as it extend, the labour of reference may be spared.

Such is the consideration which has By the consideration has been produced the liberty which
will now be taken with Mr Humphreys most highly instructive and
valuable work on the law of property.

Taking for the subject matter of reference the sort of formulæ
at present commonly employed for the in this several species of conveyances
and contracts at present in use in present use, he attaches to it and confronts with
it a different one of his own devising and presented in the character
which it so well merits of an improved one.

In pursuance of For the purpose here in question pursuing the same design I shall proceed to
take with his formula the same liberty which he has taken – with
the formula as the phrase is with the wisdom of ages.

Of his formula the first is that part inserted under the
head of Forms of Assurances and among of which it stands first and is headed Proposed form
of a Conveyance for a purchaser. If the by insertion of a period
or say full stop division is considered as being made the formula
of his may be considered as divided into four sentences.
But of appearances the effect of appearance be consider in those
few sentences if such they are to be called there are but three
propositions; the second of them having in it no verb but what
it borrows from the first and moreover the three are strung together
and as it were made into one by the insertion of two or modes of
the word pad in two places.

Note that in the use thus made of the ordinary instruments
of division called stops he had made an amendment of which
no notice has been given by him: and in inserting by the side of it a
formula upon conformable to the existing practice, he has by implication tacitly ascribed to it a merit to which the
non existence of which is
altogether notorious.
No such help to intellectuals
is to be found in any instrument of annoyance or in general: in such instruments of intellectism is to be found in the original of any Act of Parliament.
Preference or all other classes in the branch of morality,
the lawyer class rather than part with any of the last portion of the
profit of derivable from their appropriate immorality, are content to be seen
not less inference on the scale of intellectuality as compared with
the lowest of the so called lower classes.⊞
⊞ No schoolboy dares give expression to any the most trivial
sentence that so exquisitely chosen unapt and
mischievous form as that which the lawyer class have decree
for the are still admitted to having and keep quiving upon
pinnacle of uncertainty the lives and fortunes of all
the other classes
