4244. KAMES, Writings of Lord.—

Your
objection to Lord Kames, that he is too metaphysical,
is just, and it is the chief objection to
which his writings are liable. It is to be observed,
also, that though he has given us what
should be the system of equity, yet it is not the
one actually established, at least not in all its
parts.—
