Progress of Despotism in the Heart.
A new Prince comes to the Throne.
His intentions are public spirited and
serious pure. While a subject, he has been
an indignant witness with to many abuses which then
he unable power to correct. He has it now.
It is natural that a man in power, should
be an enemy to abuses, from which neither
neither himself nor his friends have been accustomed
to profit, and for by remedying
which he and those who associate with
him may gain reputation, the means
of further power.

To one who serve sits down to consider the doctrine
of the Common Law on the this
head of Scandal
without prejudice it may appear a doubt
whether it has contributed most to the protection
or the torment of the subject: to the enrichment
of the profession, or the degradation
of it's character: whether it affords more matter
of laughter to the ludicrous, or of lamentation
to the considerate reflective.
One useful lesson may be derived from it.
it serves if any thing can serve to shew, the
mischief of leaving things to stand upon the
questionable footing of Common Law in
which no number of concurrent decisions
is sufficient to as a presumption either of the reasonableness
of a doctrine, or a pledge of it's
permanency.
