Of [Composition]

Beginning
Composition, what

To Under the head of composition belongs so much of
the business of legislation as consists in the giving to the [+]

[+] laws that form which it is intended they should possess.

[The composition of] By the form given to the laws we are to understand is the verbal
exposition given to the ideas which the legislator
means to should be communicated to the people
with relation to the conduct which he wishes [should
be observed by them. them to observe.]. The end of every thing
that can be done under the head of composition form
is to make qualify that expression in every
case for the suggesting faithful exhibition of those ideas. The instruments

the words themselves: 2. the order in which
they are disposed. This order may be distinguishedconsidered

2. in as far as it respects


the disposition which is made of the whole <add> assemblage</add> a number of
paragraphs together. The In as far then as

of single paragraphs want given to such of assemblages of them as are
included within the compass of single paragraphs are
concerned
