LAWS SUBST. & OFF PRINCIPAL & ACCESSORY ADJECTIVE
In this Division of Laws, which is an exhaustive one we have found an expedient to
reduce their infinitude. Turn our eyes [which way where ever we
will, we shall meet with none but what we may marshal
Make the experiment
on whatsoever one we
will under the one or the other of its branches. If we can
conceive it to subsist alone, and independently of any other
Law, we may pronounce it Substantive — If we find it
necessarily requiring some other more original one in which it may adhere
If it supposes in whose track it may place itself along with others
as a Substitute, for the sake of giving it efficacy, or provide
for some incident which occurs in the course of the
Train of expedients devised for the giving it efficacy, [it is] we must

By the help of this principle of order applied to we shall applied to the plexus of promiscuous
provisions that compose the substance Text of what is
called a Statute, we shall unravel that confusion with which
we see them jumbled together: shall contemplate them marked as we cause it to pass
over, them in succession we shall how readily they fall off to range themselves under
one or other Title.
A subject however
ample shrinks up at
the touch: and it is
by this means that the
human mind achieves
its conquests.
By separating those of the first denomination from
the crowd of those of the other with which they are
garbled, we shall reduce find ourselves able to reduce them under
some compass in our conceptions; we may attend perhaps
some prospect of the possibility of grasping
the limits of the whole number: we shall reduce
those of the latter in like manner within compass by
referring them all along to those of the former with which they
are generally or specially connected: we shall see in how great a how
not necessary, as some

disposed to imagine and who
others in artifice may
endeavour to
