We fhall give a fketch of the revolutions of this feodal anarchy : a name that may furnifh an idea of its character.
Their legiflation was incoherent and bar- barous. If we find in its records many laws apparently mild, this mildnefs was nothing elfe than an unjuft and privileged impunity. Meanwhile we trace among them fome in- ftitutions of a true temper, which, though as being intended to confecrate the rights of the oppreffor, were an additional outrage to L the ( U* ) the rights of men, yet... tended to preferve fonic feeble idea of thefe laft, and were dellined one day to i'erve as an index to their recognition and rcftoration.
In this legiflation two lingular cuftoms arc obiervable, characteriftic at once both of the infancy of nations, and the ignorance of the rude ages. A criminal might purchafe exemp- tion from punifhment by means of a fum of money fixed by law, which eftimated the lives of men according to their dignity or their birth* Crimes were not confidered as a violation of the fecurity and rights of citizens, which the dread of punifhment was to pre- vent, but as an outrage committed on an in- dividual, which himfelf or his family might avenge, if they pleafed, but of which the law offered a more advantageous reparation.
