Publisher description
Excerpt from Common Sense Versus Common Law If Lycurgus could be summoned from the shades to give evidence before a new Common Law Commission, it is not improbable that the illustrious legislator would give a decided opinion against a rash and short-sighted reform of a system, which operates to banish litigation from the courts. "Infatuated men, " lie might be supposed to say, "would you destroy a system which has just now reached maturity - a system devised by the wisdom and forecast of your ancestors to counteract the evil tendencies of a corrupt and complicated state of society? Are civil dissension and litigation things to be fostered? If so, simplify your law ; make it intelligible, accessible to the people.
