In the other case,+ when it is material to the any purpose of the
institution that the notice information should be as extensive and as undiscriminating
as possible: In so far To Upon the extent given to
the information notice depends the degree in which it is capable of contributing

and diffusion of useful information. By this means and by
this alone. But for this all-comprehensiveness an effect
prejudicial to that object is liable to take place: a small party
having for their object the exclusive diffusion of opinions sentiments favourable to
their particular views — opinions sentiments which in their opinion

divagation in
divagation into subjects
not included in the notice,
be strictly or
enforced, as strictly as
the nature of the case ad- permitts.
