By the first conveyance that offers itself
you will receive a thick volume volumes which very probably
you will never read. areIt is entitled
Principles of legal policy.Theory of Punishment. They areIt is part of
[+]
to which whom can
if ever it should
be compleated I
intend to give some
such title as
that of Principles
of Legal Policy:
The object of it a work [+] the object of which is to trace out
a new model for the Laws: of my own country
you may imagine, in the first place: but keeping
those of other countries all along in view. To
ascertain what the Laws ought to be, in long form
and as well as in matter: and that elsewhere as
well as here.All that I shall say to recommend it to you is
that I have taken counsel of you much oftener than of
our own Ld Coke and Hale and Blackstone.
The repose of Grotius and Puffenddorf and Barbegae
and Burlamaque I would never wish
to see disturbed. I have built solely on the foundation
of itility, laid as it is by Helvetius. Bea
has been lucerna pedibusor if you <add>please</add> members meis. Perhaps what
I have done may be found but cobweb-work.
Such as it is however it is spun out of my
own brain. As such I send it you It is neither borrow'd nor pilfer'd
I have spent upon it in the whole already about 7 years.
I mean to bestow upon it the rest of my lifedays, which
at present are somewhat a little more than a third of
your's.
One of the rewards I have been proposing to myself
has been your good opinion. Perhaps I am come
too soon to obtain it: perhaps too late. I have seen
[+] said to have been sent
to an intruder perhaps
not more impertinent
than myself. with regret the following billet: [+] Octginta due annis
