"Now for the Laws of England (if I shall speak my opinion of them "without partiality either to my profession or country), for the matter and "nature of them, I hold them wise, just and moderate laws: they give to God, "they give to Casar, they give to the subject what appertaineth. It is true "they are as mixt as our language, compounded of British, Saxon, Danish, "Norman customs. And surely as our language is thereby so much the richer, so our laws are likewise by that mixture the more complete."-LORD BACON.
