Constitut. Code. II. Expository
Of the English words commonly employed
on this occasion, no one is altogether adequate. Nomination
is but initiative: or say initiation : the commencement of a
compleat location: appointment‡ is indeed sometimes employed
to denote compleat location, but sometimes likewise
no more than the consummative operation, after the inchoative or say
initiative has been performed by some other hand.
Of compleat location, the operation the operation may be fractionalized
amongst an indefinite multitude of authorities: authorities,
some individual, some corporate, acting in as
many different modes or forms: in this or that one may be
the original nomination: in others the consummative choiceconfirmative choice
may be applied to both both either. Election is applied to the act
of a multitude: nomination & appointment to that of an individual.
† Synonyms are 1. inchoative: 2. originative.
‡ Both Nominate, and appoints, are both of them most inconveniently
barren of conjugates. Nominate has in common use
nominee, but no nominor or nominator &c. It has nominative:
but only in the confined grammatical sense. Opposites, namely disnominate
&c would not be suitable to the import of it. Appoint has,
in the positive sense, no other conjugate than appointment: in the negative sense
it has none. Disappoint, disappointment, may be termed pseudo-conjugates
– false or deceptive conjugates: correspondent in
name, not correspondent in import.
