A FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLE, A FUNDAMENTAL LAW, AND A.
FUNDAMENTAL ERROR.
The people of Leaplow are remarkable for the deliberation of their acts, the moderation of their views, and the accumulation of their wisdom.

As a matter of course such a people is never in an indecent haste.

Although I have now been legally naturalized, and regularly elected to the great council fully twenty-four hours, three entire days were allowed for the study of the institutions, and to become acquainted with the genius of a nation, who, according to their own account of the matter, have no parallel in heaven or earth, or in the waters under the earth, before I was called upon to exercise my novel and important functions.

I profited by the delay and shall seize a favorable moment to make the reader acquainted with some of my acquisitions on this interesting topic.
The institutions of Leaplow are divided into two great moral categories, viz.: the LEGAL and the SUBSTITUTIVE.
