A Contre-Projet to the Hnmphreysian Code, and to the Projects of Redaction of Messrs. Hammond, Uniacke, and Twiss. 8vo. London. 1828. The object of this volume is to show that a complex system of laws belongs to a highly civilized state of society, and tiiat the evil would not be removed by recasting or adapting them to any of the plans of redaction. The author was a self-educated man, and his writings are remarkable for their bold and independent thoughts. He was, in the best sense of the word, a free thinker. 6 & 7 L. O. ; 1 L. M. G14. 554
