Excerpt from Books Published by William Tait, Edinburgh: Simpkin, Marshall,& Co; London; And John Cumming, Dublin The code of procedure, then, is composed of the system or assemblage of adjective laws. Of the substantive branch of the law, the only defensible object or end in view, is the maximization of the happiness of the greatest number of the members of the community in question. Of the adjective branch of the law, the only defensible object, or say end in view, is the maximization of the execution and effect given to the substantive branch of the law. The present proposed code is composed of an aggregate of arrangements, having the above for their object, or end in view. Of every extensive body of law, the end, mainly at least, if not exclusively, in view, has been the greatest happiness of those by whom the body of law in question was made. Consistently with the nature of man, and the preservation of his species, no other could any extensive body of law have had for its end in View. For proof of this position, see the Constitutional Code. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at ...
