The theory of trade is yet but little understood, and therefore the practice is often without real
advantage to the public; but it might be carried on with more general success if its principles

The Orders in Council ought to be formed into a book and bound; it is not to be supposed we
can keep every Gazette.-Lord Chief Justice Ellenborough.
