Excerpt from An Essay on Uses

Brevity was unattainable without compression and my observations are, in general, inferences rather than quotations: this avowal is due to myself, my readers, and my authorities.

The doctrines of devises and of trusts originated in, and are closely analogous to, Uses. Their striking points of community, similitude, and difference, have, therefore, been incidentally noticed.

Powers are an important branch of Uses and hence, notwithstanding the necessary imperfections in a partial and transient survey of an exten sive and various doctrine, it was occasionally expedient to contemplate their peculiar properties.

Those whose opportunities of research are limited, and who are unable, therefore, to examine theoretical disquisitions, ought, nevertheless, to understand the cases which are continually rising up before them. To assist these, I have endeavoured, whenever an occasion has been pre sented, to reflect on practice the li ht of principle.
