— Linnæus Q.
When so much ingenuity has been by industriousexpanded in
giving a systematical arrangement to the diseases
of the Body Natural,
why may not the same course be taken to
advantage, with ?, the with which, with
reference to the objects, may be termed according
to the common Metaphor, the diseases
of the Body Politic, or, with reference to
the agents actors, the diseases of the mind?
And why has it not been taken?[+] & how
[+] is a question that
may be ready to
recur to many] is it that in this & in so many other
respects the Science Art of Legislation should have
stood been so much life indebted to its Professors
than the art of Healing?
It is because neither the Spirit of Civil Tyranny,
nor the Spirit of Dogmatic Theology which
which poisons every thing it touches, have
not ether separately or in alliance
---page break---
hung
brooded over the latter, as over the former
Science to check the flight of Genius.
No Bugbear Nothing either from without, or from within
has stood hover'd before the one as before the other
to ify from the among <add>ption</add> to prevent the assumption of first principles [+]
[+] wheresoever Judgement

the whole expansionboundless expence
of the subject of Intellect with the most unlimited freedom, or
the persual of pursuing them through their utmost consequences.
Accordingly on the well trodden field of the Science The Tactic powers of the have bestowed themselves
vigorously on all sides; & if many things
yet remain obscure ill-defined, ill arranged methodised
it may be deemed, to use a distinction
of Ld Bacon's like imperfection not
hominies. but artis from then a defect in the number
or distinctness in the plan
memory not either of labour [/???] or
ingenuity in their arrangements
On the other hand
If we would form a Judgement of the manner
in which Lawyers have proceeded in
marshalling the articles of their Science? [are
need [/let in] but] concieve of the medical Systematic
