Ambitions of seconding ministering to [him in] his generous endeavour design/interest
I will as far as time and space will permitt
I will venture to suggest a few arr propose suggest for his consideration
a few arrangements which looks present their
themselves to me as affording a promise of being contributing
to it. I will venture to hazard in that view a few hints
I will venture to hazard for submmitt to his consideration
a f supposed improvement or two upon his improvements which at least present themselves to me as such.
The dwarf upon the giants shoulder will plead my apology

1. First as to his formula: particulars of his improvements
these. Taken subject matters taken by him as spurious those of the most needful
and abundantly employed instruments of conveyance; Deed of
Sale, Mortgage and Marriage Settlement. Desirable, quality
conferred, brevity absolute and comparative. comparative but with those in present use reduction accordingly
effected in the deed of each from pages to 1 in the mortgage
from to somewhat less than one; from on the Marriage Settlement
from to 3. In the forms in present use number of
8vo pages in the Deed of Sale, ; in the Mortgage Deed, ; in the Marriage
Settlement Deed, ; total 56: struck off from the first Sale all but
1, from the Second Mortgage all but somewhat less than one, from the Marriage
Settlement, all but three: from the whole total 56 all but the
odd six. For giving validity to these reductions, the a an appropriate Code
proposed in termines.

Improvement is a relative idea: primary object of consideration
the person persons for whose use: these persons are the parties to the transaction:
all of them ignorant lay-: for such is the denomination by lawyers
given to all but themselves that of Intelligibility
[this is] the primary and immediate requisite: brevity of the whole instrument
taken together useful only in so far as correspondent intelligibility is the result.
But for maximization of intelligibility a few things more
are requisite. The whole should must be broken down into as may distinguishable
component parts as are discoverable in it, these parts
will be the several papers bunched up in it: for each of them a denomination
familiar to every
body for such the
should be allotted.
