The Laws of a country are necessarily connected with every thing be-
longing to the people of it; so that a thorough knowledge of them. and
of their progress would inform us of every thing that was ,nost useful
to be known about them; and one of the greatest imperfections of' his-
torians in general, is owing to their ignorance of law.
