Review of Humphreys

§ Agenda
(7) 7

For a noun substantive in the nominative case, not being of itself indicative
of any other part of speech with which it has a necessary
connection — necessary to the compleat designation of the idea meant
to be expressed by it, presents to the mind a resting place
on which it can repose at pleasure: can lay it down and
take it up again at pleasure, and occupy itself at any
time with view of making it the subject of a logical preposition
the subject of predication.

This is more than in any one of the other cases can be
due. Before the any one logical preposition to which assent or dissent
can be attached is concluded, the mind finds itself turned
on to the conclusion of the sentence frequently without time sufficient for
giving adequate consideration to any one of the ten propositions
so combined. From the consideration of what is expressed
the attention is turned aside to the endeavour to get or keep
hold of the object of the existence of which in obscure intimation
is given without its being expressed.

16. Subarticles excepted
include not in one article
two sentences so
unconnected as to be
understood each without
reference to the other.

Reasons
1. By such conjunction
the reader had
to consider the two sentences
as forming but one preposition
and to get at the supposed
latter point for the import
of the whole, hurries itself
over the former point and
without giving to
it the proper separate consideration
and thus confuses itself.
2. For without the other
neither can be repeated
by numerical reference nor
without otherwise than by description
and Thus is the simplicity of the text of the Code impaired.

Subarticles excepted as above include in under
and the same article propositions which, for the being rightly understood have no immediate
connection with each other: much still less any such
to such a degree independent of each other as that by no
one of them the extent of any other is either enlarged or
narrowed. When each preposition article exhibits a compleat and independent
whole, then, if, at any time, reason is seen for the repeat
of it, reference to the article by its number is sufficient.
Now suppose two articles prepositions enactments in such sort independent of each
other as that there may be need of repeating one
of them and at the same time preserving the other, thereafter or
if one of them alone comes to be repeated, the neither of the whole
which numb
which by its number
will not answer the purpose:
of the part intended
to be repeated
a verbal description
is necessary.
