Excerpt from The Great Land Question: Being a Verbatim Transcript of the Correspondence in Doe Versus Roe I. There is, no doubt, trouble involved in sweeping away the existing manner of holding lands, whilst, in individual causes of disgust, the spur to selfishness is too intermittent and remote to call forth general action. Then again our endurance has been lightened not only by custom, but also by a large amount of patchwork legislation, though it may be truly observed, in the words of a great thinker when speaking of usury, that in this case also the law was reformed as a person reforms a tight shoe, who cuts a hole in it where it pinches hardest, and continues to wear it.
