Ce nsest point a moi a examiner si lea Anglois jouissent actuellement de
Bette liberte, ou non. I1 me suffit de dire qu'elle est etablie par leurs loix, et
je n'en cherche pas d'avantage. Montesquieu de L'Esprit des Loix. It is
not my business to examine, whether the English actually enjoy this liberty, or
not. It is sufficient for me to say,that it is established by their laws, and I in-
quire no farther. Montesquieu's Spirit of Laws.
Nam non nisi optimis legibus populum regere licet, etiam ut dicit Philoso.
phus; Natura deprecaturoptima-Nonsunt hwc tantis celata mysteriis, ut de-
liberatione egeant ingenti. Fortescue de Laudibus Legum Angli, cap. vii.
Par a people should not be governed, but by the best Laws, even as the philosopher
saith, Nature seeketh.the things which are best.-7hese things are not concealed
in so great mysteries, as to require great deliberation. Fortescue on the Praises
f the Laws of England, ch. vii.
