W3 Philadelphia: 1795: Liancourt Page 7. "The Judges consulted on the occasion, opposed the
"change, not because they were hardened by prejudice, they were,
"on the contrary, enlightened and humane; but a too intimate

Liancourt
No 4. ib. Page 25. "I have already observed, that the opinion of the
judges was decidedly against the establishment: one, younger than
"the rest, and less inclined to despair of the amelioration of the
"human character, embraced, with ardour, the new system, associated "himself with Caleb Lownes, him with that
"advice which could be given only by a man well versed in
"the science of jurisprudence; and shared with him his hopes, "his labours, and his deservings. This man was William Bradford,
"at that time judge of the state of Pennsylvania, since attorney
"general of the United States, and recently deceased, honoured by
"the regret and universal esteem of his fellow citizens. He deserves,
"indeed, particular respect; which I pay him with the greater
"readiness, as it implies no censure on his brethren, who, in
"refusing their sanction to the new system, were actuated only
"by the fear of success, a fear founded upon past experience.
"On the first appearance of hope, they hastened to concur,
"unrestrained by their former sentiments: a merit which must
"be acknowledged to be of no common kind, by those who know
"the errors into which we are led by self-love." —: +
+ of no common kind indeed: at least in the country in which we live. Is it or is it not too much, my Lord to hope that deleted text will the effect of example will be as impressive — will, on statesmen here as it has been on malefactors in Philadelphia?
