In P the and entanglement produced by the indirect mode
of designation above exemplified, is, as far as may be seen a sort of involvement, of which
in so far as it considered as applied to the field of legislation,
the Gentlemen in question, so far as serves
me, are the inventors. [+]
[+] In some instance
the reference is simply
in the simple form: from the Article of you
are simply sent
on to another: and
here you suffer nothing
worse than useless labour.
But in other instances
and those most unless
pity numerous, words
significative of relation
are employed: (equali equally
in the same manner
W Whatsoever may be the decoration
added by this contrivance, not small is the price paid for
it: paid first by the subject Citizen in the shape of serious inconvenience . suffered.
First comes the task By it is thus imposed upon the reader — the task of comparing the Article which
is clearly to the purpose, with another which may be to the purpose
or not as it may happen: and in either case the task of establishing
the fact of the identity of signification, or in case of difference
the nature and extent of the difference: [+]2
[+]2 neither in the
memory nor in the
conception can an
Article be tidied without
being linked with another
or others which do
not belong to it.
Thus the a burthen
which, taken at its
minimum, is but
too heavy, receiving
from this artificial
contrivance an
indefinite increase:
and, from as the result
may, in each instance, be a degree of perplexity and uncertainty
to which no limits can be assigned; The reader
is perplexed, and as little can any limits short of death be assigned
to the mischief to which in case of an interpretation
deemed erroneous by the Judge, the Citizen may be subjected:
for such may be the mischief in a case in which death
is the appointed punishment: and in this in which case as above is the
very first Articles of the offence-creating Articles () in the Code. The Citizen is perplexed, if
be that he have money rich enough to take the chance of for saving
himself, repairs to a lawyer: which lawyer perhaps finds himself
equally perplexed. But, the for the suffering of the perplexed
lawyer, compensation satisfaction, probably to his own satisfaction
by himself is made: which by between his
unhappy Client, in addition to his perplexity, is causes instead of compensation
the additional burthen of affording the compensation
to the Doctor professional man by whom the perplexity h as has not been
[removed and by whom security against the mischief
has to him not been afforded.

here, by the entanglement
thus produced,
to the simple labour
is added not infrequently
perplexity
and uncertainty to
an indefinite degree
