Taken in its totality the aggregate the 123 Sections of which the
Consolidating Act is composed constitutes a vast sea an ocean
of matters in which wherein the comparably
proportion with which it is in can be of use the persons in
question have any concern or which it can be of
use to them to bear in mind is small and
. This whole sea Ere they can be sure of possessing this
small part which is their own this while
is what they have to swallow.
But suppose it swallowed and digested, even then this done upon their terms
they even upon those terms put in possession
that is belongs to theirs of all that they are concerned to
? – Not they indeed. For in and by this Statute reference
as to one essential part of it is made another to a
of action under the name of a King's Proclamation.
And what is this King's Proclamation?
a mass of letter press 18 inches 1 1/2 foot by 17 inches
thing is a figure in it, or a division a division or a figure in it, except that which
from its being cast into three columns, each
broader by one third than any one of the folio pages
which the only authentic though not correct that not perfectly correct edition is composed.
In this additional document instrument which they are thus
necessarily sent to read, and but they should not that they may have
read, to purchase is contained together with an
of matter with in which they have no concern are not concerned
of another long portion consisting of a mere repetition that which in and by the Statute they have⊞ ⊞ or are supposed to have bought and read already.
