«No law of that country must exceed in words the number of letters of their alphabet, which consists of only twenty-two. But, indeed, few of them extend even to that length. They are expressed in the most plain and simple terms, wherein those people are not mercurial enough to discover above one interpretation: and to write a comment upon any law is a capital crime.»
Jonathan Swift, Gulliver's Travels, 1726.
