1828 Sept. 18
Blackstone
§.2. Universal Jurisprudence
Conclusion
Language alone universal
On the part of Learned
Gents, ideas & language not
being clear: they confound Law
as it is with L as it aught to
be, particularly with regard
to Roman Made Law.
In regard to the learned person, one little observation
more there is, which in the way of information may
you will find, (we hope) is not altogether without its use.
It is — that generally speaking they are not altogether
very clear and distinct decided in their conceptions, nor accordingly thereafter
in their language as in the difference between what
Law as then is and Law as it shd ought to be. when
speaking of Law as they in the county to parish they
say it is, they conclude without regarding the matter as
standing need of proof that it is likewise Law as it
ought to be: so likewise when speaking of Law, as it was at
a time ever so long ago past they say it was: saying
this that they regard themselves as having at the same time
and thereby said how it ought to be. Such in particular
is the case in regard to Roman bred Law: which
takes in the aggregate consists is composed of Statute law
long since dead or between life and death, invented
by Roman Sovereigns of States long since defeated, together
with talk about it by men of an equiva
a character altogether equivalent. to whom talk,
they can themselves sovereign, not had from any
sovereign any authority to make law, men more
enough to give the effect of law.
