Barrington:
an Antidote
The situation of our youth would have been too
much to be pitied, had it not been followed at
no very long interval by a powerful antidote
counterpoise -
in the valuable work known by the title of "Observations on the ancient Statutes".
Not that
nothing less than
declared, or even
Not intentional
nor declared
there was no other opposition that what candour
simplicity and honest freedom in alliance with a sound
judgment on one side would unavoidably produce
with prejudices & partialities and superstitions
and local1 attachments on the other, without any
corporate-
purpose of the last of the two writers.
Nor perfect
from the plan of
it
The reflections in which needed contained the .... c
virtue , thinly too thinly sown scatter'd the here and there in a rich
mass of various erudition, act from that circumstance
to a disadvantage against assemblage
of principles, collected into a body,
and descend into something that has the appearance
of a system.
The mixture of foreign and antiquated languages , could not which [contributed
at the same time while
that it
to] diversify the entertainment of the learned
reader, would necessarily rebuter of readers
of the less instructed class, among whom might
be those many to by whom the benefit of the moral &
political+ part would be most necessary needful wanted.
