    What follows? - that, if there be any connection between causes and effects, it is to these causes /circumstances/ more than to all others - more than to all others put together - that we might be lost for the cause of whichever is amiss in that vast body of which the system of procedure forms a part: but more particularly, as will be seen in that part in contradistinction to the other.

    And to ------ will this single cause be found to be to the ----- of accounting for the effect that the just cause of wonder will be not so much how it should have /should be/ -------, not that there is so much that will be found amiss - but how it should have happened that any thing should have been right. To committ /---- the interest/ the class of ---- that is of all mankind in their /occasional/ capacity of occasional suitors to the guardianship /management/ of the man of law, would have been exactly the same sort of policy had there been any choice, as the committing of the sheep to the guardianship of the wolf: or rather to a sort of animal who under the outer covering of the faithful guardian /defender/ of the fold, has under the change of circumstances found it necessary to change his nature from the open rapacity /voracity/ of the wolf to the more ---- and artificial /---- and disguised rapacity of the fox.

    But it /delay/ is the property (as will be seen) of delay /is naturally pregnant/ to give birth to incidents: incidents many of which not all will either naturally be, or will have been ------, productive each of its expence to the suitor, each of its profit to the man of law.

    Moreover whatever state of things is productive of factitious and unnecessary delay, will in other ways be found productive of unnecessary and factitious expence, that part in the profit of which the lawyer will never be without his share. And é conversó no improvement (for the extension of ------- improvements is in so far true) could operate in removal of the factitious and unnecessary delay, that would not operate (operate of course and unless measures can be taken on purpose to prevent such its operation) in reduction of the aggregate mass of factitious and unnecessary expense, that part which included in the shape of profit goes into the pocket of the man of law.
