Review of Humphreys

2
Agenda at length
Its deficiencies
§§ Lengthiness or involvedness

(1) Humphreys
Its p. 3.

A paragraph of one his learned are, though the
exhibition it makes falls far short of that number by the learned
Lord may still serve as an example no of the inconvenience
resulting from the lengthiness and involvedness. It is in occurs already in the
third page of his introduction and occupies within three lines
of an entire page.

The matter material if arranged at leisure would be of
constitute a considerable portion of the
rationale elsewhere proposed. + + viz

Of a set corresponding to so of ends in view
so in number though in not characterized by
number few will be found infinite to the head of number
or to that of form and the to matter and from together
of those which relate to form pa has come before any of those
which relate to matter: and between one and the other
an intermixture such as presents the idea of fortunateness
as in the case of a shuffled pack of cards after shuffling
is observable. Now as to matter and form the relation
between ends and means: what relation to matter being
the apt condition of the matter being the end to which the condition
of the form should in the character of a matter, be adapted
to the production of.

When he comes to the result he says in giving us to understand
that " one 2 system uniform system of laws should regulate
the whole" Instead of (its) vainly seeking by equitable interference
to adopt the crude and scanty institution of
early ages to the complicated relation of cultivated society

The meaning What it should serve to make The
which it should seem be it is here meant to convey to us is that
the new system of laws established should be in or
instead of that any such can any such as the
attempt,
as that which has with so
much justice be reprobate
would not fail to
render it.

Thus it is that this
recommendation though in respect of its composed of excellent unquestionable good sense, wears in its form the appearance of a self contradictory one.
