4542. LAWYERS, Blackstone.—
I am
sure you join me in lamenting the general
defection of lawyers and judges from the free principles of government. I am sure they do
not derive this degenerate spirit from the
father of our science, Lord Coke. But it
may be the reason why they cease to read
him, and the source of what are now called
“Blackstone Lawyers”.—
To Dr. Thomas Cooper. Washington ed. vi, 296.
