H. projects six.
Separation 1 Minimizes

3. saves machinery

thence time

In a state more or less approaching to maturity
half a dozen seven distinguishable measures of reforms or improvement may be
seen in this bought to view by Mr Humphreys in the course
of this richly pregnant volume. So far as they are distinguishable
so must the more compleatly they can in prospect consideration be distinguished
from each other and in practice separated from one
another, so much the better with a view to the maximum of
success. With little or no exception, by every one of them
a superior list of opponents, at the call of particular and
sinister interests, will of course be raised to arms. By
uniting bringing forward all these distinguishable measures into one, by including
them say in one Bill, all these hostile armies would
be nested into one, and the in regard to the whole the probability
of all success miscarriage would be as the probable number of
authoritative opponent to the probable number of authoritative
supporters. Propose each of them separately out of the whole number
say, six, one, two, three four or five might be carried, which
but for the separation miscarriage might be the lot of all six.

men whose interests
are served by one

Let it not be said that the a result this natural being
thus already upon or if not already, at any rate by this
opened to observation, such will the actual results, and therefore
the later
useless therefore whatsoever labour shall come to have
been employed or giving to them and support

Those who in whose judgment their interests are served by this
or that one of them disserved by every other will of course join in giving support to to it their support
it, if in that same judgment they do but hold themselves sufficiently assured that in
relation to each of the other five they will find themselves joined
by a sufficient number of colleagues sufficient for the defeat of it
By
By this separation,
not only will probability
of success be maximized,
but useless in
abundance, on the part
of those whose interest
would be or would be
supposed to be affected
will be spared: benevolence
joins with policy in accommodation
of it.
