Summary

This quote is a satirical remark on the legal system in England. It suggests that the primary objective of English law is to generate more work and cases for lawyers and the legal system itself.

This insight involves sophistication, some understanding and sharing of the clandestine impulses of human nature. A simplicity that is merely the lack of this insight indicates a sort of defect.
