As to want of
appellative see Statute
Book. At the Union
we had Kingdom of
Grt. Brit. & Ireld.
Of the want of an apt appellative —
apt to the purpose of receiving conjugates — an example
may be seen in that storehouse repository of imperfections of
all sorts and sizes, the Statute Book. Thus on the
occasion of the Irish Union, when the operation came
to be performed, the two kingdoms, that of Great Britain
and that of Ireland, came to be spliced together and
joined into one, and for that purpose, of necessity spoken
of as being one. Kingdom of Great Britain and
Ireland was accordingly the appellate framed for this
purpose, and inserted first in the vellum of the
Parliament office, and from thence on the paper of
the Printer's office, by law-learned hands. Clumsy as it
was, this substantive, as such, was not altogether
incapable of being put to use. But the operation of enactment
was not the only operation for the purpose of
which need for an appellate in this form had place:
the statute book was not the only publication in which
this same kingdom required to be spoken of. Presently,
came the demand for a conjugate, in the grammatical
form of a noun adjective, serving as an equivalent
of the genitive case of the substantive.

For thus placing these
substantives in appositn.
in the Statute Book the
sovereign power was
adequate: not so to
establish the possession -
indicating & predication-
effecting predconjugates Brith.
& Irish -- the things
signified by their being
different, as religion,
interests, affections.
For the purpose of forcing together on the
leaves of the Statute Book, in a state of mutual
apposition, the two substantives Great Britain
Ireland with the conjunction and between them, the
power of the sovereign of the British Empire was
not found inadequate. But if to the planting on this
stock the possession-indicating and predication-effecting
conjugate British and Irish any attempt was
made, it stuck at the stage of inchoation, consummation
was found impracticable — British-and-Irish
interest — British-and-Irish affections — British-and-Irish
