Part 43 (2/2)

My pleasure revived in full force, when I arrived at my author's definition of lahich he states to be--'a rule of civil conduct, prescribed by the supre what is wrong' What will you say to that, friend Turl? exclai be more provident, more wise, more desirable?

In short, I found the writer so clearly understood and satisfactorily explained the nature of law, and the benefits arising froan to be ashamed of my forraceful not to know it as it were by intuition I was in that precise temper of mind which renders conviction an easy task: for I was in haste to be rich, and faest provocatives to faith that the sagacity of selfishness has ever yet discovered
