He first gave to the law the air of [a] science; he found it a skeleton, and clothed it with flesh, colour, and complexion; he embraced the cold statue, and by his touch it grew into life, sense, and beauty. His great works survive the vagaries which pass through the crude minds of each giddy innovator, and which every packet imports in the form of a blue paper report.
