§.7. Hand single

3
1 To each part hand
but one - Reason
1. Respectively: this
being known, and whose
the hand is.

First as to the point expressed by the phrase hand single: exclusion
put upon every number of hands moregreater than one.

Of the reason on which this choice is grounded - of the circumstance
on which its contributiveness to the greatest happiness of
the greatest number principally depends, a general some conception
though not a compleat one may be conveyed by the single word
responsibility: and in this case the reason it is desirablewhy the work aught
to should be the wish of no more than a single hand is - that
by being to it may be known to be so, and it may also be
known whose that hand is.

4 3(a)
But that for that,
not very material would
it be that the hand
should be single: and
naturally as to each
small part taken separately
this could
scarce fail to be the
case.
Together in the same
paragraph scarcely
could two work
One could draw the
whole; the other propose
or not propose
amendments which
by the first could be
either consented to
or rejected.

Note(a)

Setting made these two collateral circumstances which though
not naturally connected with the principal one are not inseparable
from it, - whether the parts supposing them small parts
and taken taking them separately were the or were not each of them
the work of no more than one hand would comparatively
speaking be immaterial: and in point of fact that they should
would be in their origin such of them, of course the work of a no more than single
hand, is altogether natural and probable. Rarely indeed
would it happen, if at all that any two persons could go out
for any length of time occupied both of them upon the same
paragraph: and of any such mode of proceeding endless jarring
and confusion would be the result. OneEither of these might
indeed draw up the paragraph in the first instance and when
drawn up put it to the other by word of mouth or in writing
for revision: But and in penning this next draught the concern
might be the mode pursued. But even in this case, which is an
extreme one, taking any paragraph separately no number of
hands greater than one is occupied in the drawing of the original
draught - what the other does is - to propose amendments to it, or to give
his concept to it and pass it, emansaided.
