'8. Foreigner best Conclusion

From all this it seems sufficiently evident, that, from any adoption, however

extensive, given in the instance of that particular Constitutional Code, to a

Code the original draught of which was composed by the hands of natives, it

follows not that, in the case of a suite of Codes, Penal, Civil and

Constitutional, formulated each of them with an interwoven rationale the

circumstance of the original draughts having had a foreigner for its author

would be the less likely, to given to the acceptance of it on the part of other

nations, the superior facility above supposed.
