Constitutional CodeForm
Ch. IX. Ministers collectively
§. 4. Functions in all.
So at the same time fr and by the same means for the
quantity of correctness. In some of the ways that the import might
perhaps have been conveyed might perhaps be the import by which
a state of things proportion conception conformable to the bulk of it would
have been and to the intention of the draughtsman would have been
conveyed: but in others a conception differing also from the bulk
of his case or from that meant to be conveyed by the draughtsman
or both.
One and the same pair of words by this to that
infinite words of phrases by which the same import or imports
more or less approaches to identity would in the other case have been one conveyed
the consequence is that any time this pair of words is
presented to the reader the impression made on the occasion when
it was first employed is renewed and strengthened: the quantity
of the expression is , its vagueness fixed by the
any obscurity it might have had illustrated by the reputed
use thus made of it on so many different occasions.
Every time it occurs the import of it is more deeply engrained
and more firmly fixt in the mind.
3. , Two words be and two words, the
two words a question perform the office for the performance of which
on each occasion an entire sentence, or for better explanation perhaps
a group or of sentences (more or less different from one another
in ) would have been to be employed.
4. . For each occasion there being no more to
consider than those two words more time can be spared for
the giving to the import meant to be conveyed the degree of intent
which the occasion requires.
Clearness &c in each – uniformly in all.
