AN ESSAY

ON

THE SCIENCE OF LAW.

BY'VW. FO.RBES -N S0N,

Precedents are the bane and disgrace of legislature. They are not wanted to justify
right measures, and are absolutely insufficient to excuse wrong ones. They can only be
useful to heralds, dancing-masters, and gentlemen ushers-because in these departments
neither reason, virtue, nor the saluspopuli, or suprema lex, can have any operation.
