Constitutional Code Used
May 19/39 Ch. XI. Ministers severally
S.2.II. Legislation Minister

In the Statute body of every other civilized nature
the aggregate body of the laws is partitioned divided into divisions
and subdivisions one within another, the results of the law
division being commonly termed Articles, and these articles
all along distinguished by numbers, and in length respect each
Article differing little if any thing from the sentences in use
in ordinary a literary work at large. In the Statute Book
of England, the whole mass of matter to which authentication
is given by one and the same touch of the sceptre, is termed
a Statute, and the Statutes which in the course of the
Session follow an one another, are distinguished from
one another by the title of Chapter, with a number annext.
But of these Statutes, though there are many of
them each of which is of a bulk equal to that of a reasonable
volume has any authentically reorganized parts. In practice Some how
or other, in the printed copies, a division has been made
of them into numbered Sentences. But neither this not any
other division has place in the main original manuscript
and thus it or that the practice of repealing an otherwise
than by description is kept up

But thereafter for this practice though it has this
for its cause, it has no excuse: for if the thing described
even — not the purpose, but the — not the meaning but
certain words, for example from such or such words or such a Law, of such a page the government
provided copy to such and such other words in such
matter have of the same or such other page, the
awkward as would be the expedient, uncertainty as to the intensive would
at any rate stand excluded.
