§1. WHEREAS — WHEREFORE
It is Upon this occasion as upon so many others in the Statute Book we may observe with an ingenious modern,
tho' in a sense not altogether the same with his that the Statute-Book is not the proper repository for
historical facts.
This Solecism The is frequent in Acts of Parliament: & reigns more especially in the current forms of conveyancing: any happy if they the client were afforded in the most cause of complaint they afforded. This solecism reigns very much in Conveyances & is frequent in Acts of Parliament.
Goods, wares or merchandizes. It may deserve some consider.n whether
A loading induced made up ... Wherefore ... It ought to be "therefore".
I think there are few who, upon it's being suggested to them that "wherefore" was not a proper consequent to whereas

If the we consider the nature of Pronouns relative, with the adverbs such as this is, is this before us [wherefore] that are formed from

we are speaking of brings continues, the clause which it introduces, under the influence governance of the rectatory form - whereby by which means
the sense is continued in the passage in which it began, nor is any thing directly asserted — through the whole
sentence. (The whole sentence though (like one that I could name) if it look up of Ruffland's pages as I could name one that does) would
be imperfect after all as not amounting to a proposition. The antecedent of an hypothetical proposition
is nothing without it's consequent: as no one would understand a man to have spoken sense, who should
say where if I go out of Town, or whereas I am going out of Town, & there end. even nor tho' he should make
50 speeches of that same kind together.
