Ch. X Judiciary collectively
(2) 5 §. Preinterpretative function

7 9. Giving extent to the number of persons habituated
to the directing their attention to the field of legislation, and
the practice of the operations carried on in it.

4. 8. Making provision for a perpetual encrease of appropriate
aptitude of the rate of action on the part of the part of the rate of action, on every part of the field of legislation, and
at the same time preserving it, at the same time from being in such sort overwhelmed
with a useless mass of useless matter as it would
be were otherwise it would not fall to be loaded with: instead
of this or that word by the addition or substitution of which an
imperfection would be corrected, argumentation of parties
Law practitioners and Judges as to which ought to be recorded
as the proper interpretation of the text in question: and these discussions
preceded by and long protracted statements
of the detail of the particular suit which gave rise to those
same descriptions: in a word maximizing the aptitude of
the rule of action, and keeping the bulk of it minimized.

(a) For want of to Without much

(a) Bonaparte's Codes: and in particular the Code Civil. By the
inspection of one single work without namely of 8vo volumes, already
(Ao 1824) 9, a Frenchman will be able to form some some conception may be formed
conception of the value in relation to the ability of the institution here proposed. The
more lightly and justly estimated the work, the greater the burthen
upon that the mind of those who then find themselves under a proportionable
the more impressive the prudential obligation of adding to the original this excretitious
burthen: and, after all, the work not being the work of the
constituted authority but that of a private individual, no imperfection
of the original is corre remedied by it, nor can any certainty
be
be obtained from it as
to what in the several
points touched upon would
be the decision of the Judge.

8. Proportioned to the
extent eventually covered
in the field of legislation
by the exercise of this
function will be the
usefulness of the arrangement
by which
it is conferred.

9 If legislation performed
in this shape is not
beneficial, still less is
it if in any other
shape: for by this
addition is made to,
subtraction in no other
form, the other securities
for aptitude.

10. It is not by,
and in proportion to,
its closeness, that the
enaction in legislation
is beneficial, but
by and in proportion
to its expoundedness:
to which property addition
is by the here proposed
institution made.

11. For a conception of
the utility of the here proposed
institution, look to
Bonaparte's Civil Codes,
and in particular the Civil
with one comment
on it: 8vo volume already
Ao 1824 9. The more
highly and greatly estimated
the work, the more impressive
the prudential
obligation of adding to the
original this excretitious
burthen: nor after all, the
work not being authoritative,
can any imperfection [+]
[+] in the original be remedied by it, or any certainty obtained as to what on the several points mentioned in it will be the decision of the Judge.
