Supplement
§.2 Elucidation
History and Ætiology.

or 1
Parliament's conviction
of the inaptitude of
the regular System
proved by employment
given to the summary.

Instinctive, and with a view to practice
in the highest degree important, is the observation following
important in the highest degree is one subsevient
certificate we have on this subject — a certificate given by Parliament
with which this exposition may conclude.
Abundantly more impressive and probative by deeds

than if by word is the certificate given by Parliament.
given by every Parliament — from the first by which an
exemplification of this summary course was exhibited,
down to the present.
a certificate, declarative of the utter inaptitude of the regular
course, in all the several so numerous and diversified
ramifications of which the tyger-stuffed jungle
is composed. By Parliament? Yes: by every Parliament, from the very first, by
which an exemplification
of this summary
solely kept course
was given, down to the
present. A certificate?
says somebody.
Where is it? Answer. Every
where. In what words?
Answer. Not in words
but in and by
deeds: proofs so
much more conclusive
than it is
in the power of words

That, from the purpose to which
the information obtained happens subsequently to be applied,
the course best adapted to the ascertainment of the
truth as to a matter of fact, is susceptible of receiving
diversification, — is a proposition, to which, while remaining in this
its most extreme degree of generality, something in the
shape of argument might not altogether impossibly be opposed:
that from the powers given to the persons occupied
in the investigation, a demand for such diversification
is not inescapable of being produced, might also
perhaps with some plausibility, so long as the subject
is kept hanging in the region of vague generalities at a
certain degree of elevation, be maintained: the more
important the practical result of the investigation, the
stronger and eventually the more effective, it may be
said, the powers, the institution of which may be rendered
consistent with the ends of justice. But that
the aptitude of the course can be diversified by, and
rendered dependant on, the denomination given to the
aggregate of the functionaries so occupied in the
several
