T.A. Prelud. XIV.

Mark with an Asterisk all those animadversions
on the old Act that hold good on the new one: & in
that chapter wherein the new one is consider'd,
begin with a Table exhibiting those Sections of
the new one to which there are any Such asterisked observations,
are referring to the page Section and Article.
And in the observations refer all along to the page & Section
of the New Act.

The observations that I shall have occasion afterwards
to submitt relative to the last New Act, will be so
many reasons why according to my apprehension
it cannot stand — when if if therefore both old
& new should be upon the same footing with
regard to the being repeated, it will be allowed that
there will be the the less cumbersome will be the most fit wherein
to exemplify the plan

If this a case at least it will not be denied disputed, but
that when therefore both in this respect stand upon the same footing will be the fittest wherein to the fittest of the 2 for the purpose in exemplifying the
plan upon will be that which is least cumbersome.

I do not pretend to enter into an examination of the new Act equally
minute & with that of the old one: the
style I hop over altogether: and as to the defects

in substance, 3 or 4 dozen of the most conspicuous,
added to those pointed out alread which are transplanted <add>enhanced</add> from the
old one, may serve the turn.

As this publication is the first of it's kind,
so it will probably be the last.
If it either it produces not the effect it aims at,
nothing it is not any thing else or nothing else will of the same kind,
that can.

Neither the fatigue of writing it, nor, if I
may guess, that of reading it, is supportable
[under any other considerations] in any other
light than that of a specimen

Such A treatise on Legislative compositi would have been imperfect without
this specimen: A treatise, had that been published first begun with would not have answered my design without such a specimen as this to have referred nor would it and I
must absolutely have excluded those observations
directed to the particular end of the
Instrument chosen for a Basis, which in
a publication of this nature may be thought
not undeserving of admittance. ..would have render'd it unfit to be incorporated in such a treatise

Compilers struggling under a load of difficulty
who laid on them by the &
voluminousness bulkiness of their own works, like the Giant
in the Fable whom Jupiter buried under a
mountain - no wonder if their struggles the effect of that, as
of his, so frequently <add>end in</add> be & darkness.

Let the Sections if too small to fill a Sheet
adapted to the largest, be made, printed: if possible,
equal on Sheets that may be equal aliquot
parts of the largest — that those who may have
occasion for them all, may have them together
in an uniform manner: at the same time,
that those who have occasion but for one, may
have it separate.

Let Amendments made in Committees, be
number'd for the sake of shewing the comparative
merit of the compositions, & for facility of references
Qu- if they are not, in practise?

---page break---

Logarithms, where the mutation of a are separate in
upon <add>with</add> high figure produces a e mutation
in a whole line long string of numbers corresponding

Barometer Quadrant Longitude. Where every little state
answers to a vast sweep in the immensity
of space.

As a part of a work of that kind, it would
have been too large: & nor as a part of
such a work could it be admitted of those
observations directed to the particular
end of the Instrument chosen for a
subject this is, which may here be admitted
without any breach of the unity of
[the] design directed to the improvement of the specimen which gives rise to theme. These observations if they answer their design, may be regarded as the fruits of that method, of which the subject matter of the is made for the explication.

.... in regard to which the best wish I can
form is, that by the accomplishment compilation of
the end for which it was meant [to forward ]
it may be render'd as useless, as it is must be
unpleasant.
