Excerpt from The British Review, and London Critical Journal, 1822, Vol. 20 It cannot be too often impressed that laws are a branch, and in truth the most important branch of practical morals. It has, therefore, always been usual with ethical and political wri ters to deduce the character of a people from the spirit of their laws - a truth which Demosthenes urges upon the Athenians as a motive to the greatest care and cultivation of this department of their polit He does not scruple at once to adopt a senti ment which e states himself to have heard attributed to the wisest men that laws are in truth nothing but the morals of a state, Tpovroug Tn; wew; swan. C. Timoer. T. Iii. Ed. Cant. P. This aflinity with ethics makes it the more important, that a fit ness and proportion should, as far as is consistent with its mul tifarious objects, be maintained throughout the system of national jurisprudence, and especially through that part of it which com prehends what is most open to the view of the world - the dis pensation of criminal justice, - that it may coincide with those great aphorisms of universal equity, which speak the natural sense of mankind. Where legislators thus feel they will avoid what the judicious Hooker well warns them against the mea suring by one kind of law all the actions of men, whereby they will be sure to confound the admirable order in which God has disposed all laws, distinct in nature as in degree; remem berin with that great man, that of law no less can be acknow ledges, than that her seat is the bosom of God, - her voice the harmony of the world.
