COCCEJI FINISHES THE LAW-REFORM; FRIEDRICH IS PRINTING HIS.
POESIES.
In these years, Friedrich goes on victoriously with his Law-Reform; Herculean Cocceji with Assistants, backed by Friedrich, beneficently conquering Province after Province to him;--Kur-Mark, Neu-Mark, Cleve (all easy, in comparison, after Pommern), and finally Preussen itself;--to the joy and profit of the same.

Cocceji's method, so far as the Foreign on-looker can discern across much haze, seems to be three-fold:-- 1.

Extirpation (painless, were it possible) of the Petti-fogger Species; indeed, of the Attorney Species altogether: "Seek other employments; disappear, all of you, from these precincts, under penalty!" The Advocate himself takes charge of the suit, from first birth of it; and sees it ended,--he knows within what limit of time.
2.

Sifting out of all incompetent Advocates, "Follow that Attorney-Company, you; away!"-- sifting out all these, and retaining in each Court, with fees accurately settled, with character stamped sound, or at least SOUNDEST, the number actually needed.
