In England adequacy
of means of communication
maximized
Remain for consideration the system of intercourse which
the country affords: the the history of the state in general; and
that portion of it in particular, from, to and through which a
on the individual occasion in question, the communication
requires to be made.
In England compared with all other countries
in the globe for this purpose as for every other the adequacy of the means of communication

of judicature: modes of delivery and receipt
with appropriate documentary evidence of the facts having for the purpose been
established.. But by the hierarchy of the Post Office probably

and those as insuperable as they could contrive to render
them would of course be opposed: to the most effectual and
least vexatious arrangement that for this purpose could be proposed,
the answer epithet would of course by the answer attested be attested useless — mischievous
and impracticable: an efficient answer rendered familiar to him who
writes this by the habit of seeing or retained to propose
arrangements which afterwards when carried into effect were
be found beneficial and unexplainable.
