(1) Briefly thus — Laws concerning occupations jointly & severally exercised let them be comprised cast [are comprizable] in into one or several Codes according to their Volume.
When several occupations are so connected, as that
sometimes they are practised by one & the same
person, sometimes by different persons; whether
they the regulations concerning them shall be collected into one or more
Codes will depend upon the Bulk space of the they occupy:
insomuch as those which at one time are united
shall at another time on the addition
of new regulations be divided

Thus those concerning several occupations of Bookseller
Printer & Stationer which may serve for an example — These occupations tho though exercised
distinctly in capital shops in London, are
exercised together in the Country where the thinness
of population demand for any one is not sufficient to support
a House Trader may They may therefore accordingly in the present state of them
be broug comprized in one: although if But suppose the Law on
either of those Titles should receive any considerable
accession addition, it might then be advisable to divide
them

Particular Codes. Reg 27 [ ] 28 [ ] /[XVIII]

Another instance of a an assemblage of occupations
jointly & severally exercised, are those is that of
Ale-House-keeper Tavern-keeper Innkeeper Coffeeman Ret Retailer
of Wines & Retailer of Spirituous Liqueurs - all
branches of [the that general] Trade, the exercise
of which may be comprized under the general
denomination of Publicans

2) 2. De electione ordine Titulorum eligendorum confiriendorum
Other reasons for precedence preference being indifferent,
when part of a Statute has been cleared
off by the compilation substitution of a Code, let that Code be
proceeded upon next, which shall clear away
the rest: that thus the collection may be
of the whole together: for till the last remnant
of an Act is cleared off, the prior <add>partial</add> defalcation how ample <add>soever</add> shews
but for little: The number of the Statutes stands the same as ever: such the remnant figures making the same in the Co
Collection as if it were a whole.

When a last remnant is thus cleared off,
let notice be taken that it is the last: & let the
whole Statute be repealed in form: & let it be
to inscribed in the Table of Statutes totally repealed

NOTORIETY Consolidation.

As a Law on the subject may will often concern
persons of different professional descriptions, and therefore
the method of arrangement taken from the persons
in ques compulsively interested in if pursued followed in the original
compilation would induce numerous repetitions
The divisions arrangement in the original compilation may
be governed by the subject-matter only —
Thus to Each subject matter or groupe of such subject-matters when as aggregated have cemented by any natural bond of connection there will be appropriated
a distinct Statute regulating the operations to conduct that all men
be performed upon itwhich be concerned shall observe upon the occasion of that subject. This may be stiled the
Collective or Synthetical compilation

Next the After that a business will be to see how many
sorts of Persons of susceptible of any specific description the are affected
by its several any of its clauses; that being ascertained
to aggregated those respective clauses to the
several Codes particularly respecting those persons
where there are any such Codes ready formed,
or if none, to establish them as the basis foundations of
so many new ones — & this may be which


---page break---

should be executed at the same time, & be equally
authentic with the other, may be stiled the
Distributive or Analytical Compilation. +

The Collective form is besides necessary to the Legislator
who composes & to the Magistrate who is to execute; to those who are concerned to in the composition or in the execution that it may
exhibit to him the concurrence of the several
Articles to the one end which was in calc calculated
to attain: the Distribution is necessary to the
Subject, that he may see have a distinct view of what it is that he
is to obey. Give here examples from Builder's Act. Constable's Law, Houselandlord's Law Turncock's Law, House-occupier's Tenant's Law &c

Note

I would not be understood to propose these terms for
the permanent & practical denominations of the species
of Laws they are chosen to express: I only take the them up
for the necessary occasions of this treatise —
thus unfamiliar are would be apt to disgust the great mass of the people, who are
much under the governance of words; & inspire them with
a prejudice against the things themselves itself they are put to <add>for</add>, as if instead of an calculated Instruction calculated for their benefit it were
at the best a Jeu d'Esprit calculated to gratify some
scientific Whim of the Inventor, perhaps to overturn
sinister purpose.
