An Answer to Mason

Many Most of the other articles that you will find in that vast mass
that your shelves are about to be loaded with have the same tenden-
cy: — the fragment on evidence, "I catch Reform" on the subject of
Judicial Establishment and Procedure, "Swear not at all", on the
subject of evidence and a variety of other subjects, "Parlamentary
Reform Catechism" and "Bentham's Radical Reform Bill" on the
subject of National Representation &c &c "Church of Englandism
examined" on the subject of Ecclesiastical Establishment &c &c. Of all
these the work on Judicial Establishment, is that, which I should
expect to find would afford you most satisfaction. It has now
variety in it: it abounds more on matters of fact and arguments in
detail. It has more spirit than any other of my works: it was
written in the age of vejucer of age and under the excitement produced by
hope. But why need I refer you to all or any of these works
which are all new to you, throughout that work by Dumont which
introduced you to my acquaintance, do you not see the dissi-
militude of my notions on Law to the great mass of former no-
tions and at the same time the badness of that same great
mass of badness in a Body of Laws consists in its unconden-
civeness to the greatest happiness of the greatest number of
those who are governed by these: that all comprehensive end
and to the four subordinate ends comprehended in it voj
subsistence, abundance, security, and equality, as far as compati- con
ble existent. with reality.

"Avard nul egard. Dans un code code de lois par l'Espagne dans
son etat actuel il ne faut" avoir nul egard a la legislation des
"peuples anciens, ni aux codes adoptés chez les principales nati-
"-ons de l'Europe". Such is the theorem you in ths occasion give
me to demonstrate. Well, then, I hear thus endeavourd to demon-
strate it more a priori, than a posteriori, in so far as no such a
every such a theorem is in its nature capable of being demonstrated:
demonstrated by sample for the same reason that case is sold
by sample: treasure a sample may with more cunvercum than
which consists of a whole the Gramary, be bought in a man's pocket
