Review of Humphreys
(1.)
Ch. Agenda
§. 1. Matter
uned by .
In speaking of the causes of mislegislation
and misdecision throughout the field in question,
our author has not brought to view the all-comprehensive
and universally productive main
efficient cause, particular and sinister interest, interest
in direct and complete opposition to duty, on
the part of rulers, in both situations, that of rulers
and that of Judges, whether acting in such their
appropriate character, or in their assumed and usurped
but studiously concealed character of legislators —
causes of inaptitude on the part of the work,
correspondent inaptitude on the part of the workmen;
inaptitude in respect of every branch of appropriate
aptitude, moral, cognitional, judicial and active,
cause of the moral inaptitude, sinister interest:
cause of the cognitional inaptitude, unimproved stats
of society in former times;
but neither what
is necessary that
he should, that
ask having been
amply performed by
other hands; yet so
long as it remains
unadverted to, the
whole mass of law, genuine
and spurious
together, is a riddle:
a mass of effects, without
a cause.
