Nomenclature

A methodical 2 and exhaustive 1 arrangement is one
of the last improvements that a science can receive
In the early ages of Jurisprudence when a man proposed
a Law he knew not what relation it bore
to the whole vast object of Jurisprudence: he knew not what how
how to make out it's connection relation it connected it bore to the rest of the System [of Jurisprudence]
for in short there was [as yet] no system. Consequently
he knew not what name to call it by [give
to it] [He gave it some times his own name; People called it by his name: partly because
he] It became distinguished by his name, partly because
he and his friends who carried it through the Assembly
wished liked to see it called to see him commemorated
as the Author, and partly because no one could
find for it a more eligible one.

In the time of the Emperors when the power of
proposing and enacting Laws was had become transferred from
an Assembly to a single person, this source of distinction
was at an end. vanished The idea of distinguishing a
Law [provision] Statute by the date of it had not occurred.
They could find no better expedient than to name
it by the two or three first words.

A speech came before Grammar, so did Laws
before Systems of Jurisprudence. At first therefore it was
not possible to give to any Law a name of the nature of those which are taken from its
place in the system of Jurisprudence.
