But common sense tells us that a man of good will could, with a little effort, grasp in two or three hundred pages all the practical truths which it is important for us to know. [...] "I replied to my correspondent that I accepted the task [...] No one is supposed to ignore the civil and criminal laws that govern us, and really nobody ignores them in their main features.
