Loix. Forme. Promulgation des Raisons. 31 Octr 1801-
To Dumont
I have not had
time to put the
old sheets in
themselves (Column
Paper and Compo-
-sition paper) in
any order. But
in this sheet
you see an
indication of
the principal
contents, with
some extempo-
-raneous additions
---page break---
I. Advantages
from the Promul-
-gations of the Rea-
sons of the Laws.
-----
1 Obliging the Le-
-gislator to have
formed a distinct
and connected view
of the Laws con-
-tained in the body
of Laws in question
and of the Reasons
which produced
the determination
on his part, to
establish them
respectively: thence
contributing to
make the Laws
themselves more
perfect than they
would have been
otherwise.
2. Preventing him,
by the fear of
shame, from in-
-serting any law
for which he has
not been able to
produce a reason
that will bear
the test of exa-
-mination.
Reasons to the
Laws are a
Bridle to ca-
-price & arbitrary
power.

Raisons des
Raisons.
-----
3. Making the
Laws themselves
more easy to the
learner: making
it more easy
to apprehend the
sense & drift of
them. -
4. Making the
laws more easy
to remember,
when once
apprehended and
learnt. Reasons
are instead of
a Memoria
Technica: they
serve as a sort
of cement to
fasten them to
the memory. -
5. Making the
laws in some
measure divina-
-ble and capable
of being anticipa-
ted by the judgment
and invention,
even before they
are presented to
the conception, of
the reader. This,
in virtue of the
analogy or con-
-nection between
reason & reason,
or in virtue of
their dependence
on the common
principle. -
