To attempt to compleat these rules
would be to attempt to take the task out
of hands so much more competent as his are.

17
17. In a principal
preposition inbed not
exceptive or otherwise
modificative clauses more
than one

Reason. The mind is
hurried through and confused
as in art. 16

17. Imbed not in the belly of a principal proposition
any clause more than one exception clause or any other modificative clause
having for its object or effect the narrowing or enlarging the
import and effect of it. For in this case, the want of a
resting place as above will place the mind of the reader in
a state of uneasiness, and for the present will dispose him to get hurry
through the grammatical structure without bestowing on the
modification clause the degree of authority to for which by its
importance it may have a just demand.

18.
18. Of an article composed
of exceptions, give
notice at the commencement
of the article composed of
the principal proposition
out of which they
are taken.

Reason. By the notice
given, th preventing preserving the
reader from the momentary
error of ascribing to the
proposition arrangement
an intent beyond that
intended.

18 Where an exception requires to be made there
to secure to it its requisite measure of attention, this it will
commonly be advisable to allott a separate article to the giving
expression to it. When this is done, the a convenience
will be found in giving notice of the exception-making
article at the commencement of the article to which the exception
is to be applied. If the insertion giving of this notice has to wait
the conclusion of either article excepted from, the consequence
is that in the first place the mind is operated upon an erroneous conception is presented
to the mind and when the conception has been formed
then comes the exception clause, by which the labour of making
the requisite connection is imposed.

19
19. Cases in which there
may be a use in allotting
an a separate article to
a single exception.
1. The matter important
2. Probability of future
need of adding other
exceptions.

When the exception though there be is then postponed to a separate article
then it is ready in readiness to receive alternate exceptions should the
principal proposition upon ulterior consideration be deemed to
require any.
