This the publication in question which has all
the appearance of being brought outpublished by authority, this

interest of the ocasion and the moment happened
to become overbear the general and standing professional
interest above described.
But whoever has strength of mind to prefer the
evidence of his own reason to the documentary evidence affordeddelivered by
these capitals, will see that no more absurd and
rapid scrap of declamation, are more useful to
as a Jusde to judgement never offered

be provided for as without eithr of those- "Exercising
dis a Judge according to this
