Review
Our wish is that you should speak we mean to do
what is right: as we assert now that it is, you will
insecurely think that it is: otherwise you will not people would not support that change then
to have not thought, they were doing right,
unless they is so to be. We you what our wish is
you should think we mean to do what is right: for that not say
it is, you will believe it is, otherwise you will not.
But the Preamble – either it before or after the enactive
part, a part that must not be left altogether unnoticed is the
Preamble. The Preamble is a string of words beginning with the
conjunction wherever which word conjunction whereas or by a
recent improvement followed by the adjective expedient
or say addition a and a part and parcel of the verb substantive taken the three words together it is expedient. Without
this introduction could execution and effect be given to a Statute?
would it not rather be void? This is what The answer would
depend upon the good pleasure of the Judge: if such his
good pleasure were to save the defendant from being hanged
or any other less unpleasant inconvenience, and no stock of

Honble Gentleman and the Right Honble the Home Secretary
take in hand and employ no more than one: and that one
is the ratiocinative – Statis pro is the
aphorism employed by the Poet on presenting the idea
of arbitrary power: for our part, authorisation and established
as it is, we can not but think would make a
better appearance by itself than with a reason what would
be called reason in this form for a support to it.
"Whereas it is expedient" to be thought Our wish is that you should think we are doing right
to be thought to do what is ought to be right: we therefore assure inform that it is: hearing
this you will believe that it is: otherwise perhaps you
would not. Fit for Gotham is this absolute wisdom. Nowhere but under
matchless Constitution are any symptoms of it visible.
