Digest Prefat
Good and bad - terms
of comparison - reference -
of reference to a
standard
English Law good
as compared with every
other system existing.
Bad as compared with
what it might be
Yet with all its
imperfections it wants
nothing but consistency -
It contains in
itself not only the
seeds the rudiments
of excellence but
a pattern and exemplification
of
every excellence —
It wants correction
But it wants no
foreign standard to be corrected
by. It wants
needs correction: but
it needs only to be
corrected by itself.
Men in power free
from reproach in
not adopting a system
of amendment
till a system of
amendment, a pattern
of excellence has been
produced, which may
be done by anybody.
When a perfect
system of law has been
produced, then will be
the time to clamour
for its adoption
