Hyperbaton
A circumstance that in the course of the 15 lines
that had been filled composed which the learned penman pen had
to compose before its arrival at this clause seems
somehow or other, sleeping or waking to have dropped stepped out of memory
is that the expenditure in question has was to have three branches,
that with regard to for the purpose of that branch which had just been
placed at the disposal of the Treasurer of the Navy it
was clearly necessary that the Treasurer of the Navy should
receive the money from the Greenwich Treasurer of from whom
alone for that any such purpose there was any money
to be had: that in like manner as to the branch which
was to be at the disposal of the Commissioners of the Navy
whether it was to come from to them directly into their own hands or through
the medium of that of the Treasurer of the Navy, from
the same Greenwich Treasurer it was equally necessary
that this the money for this second branch of the expenditure
should come: but that as to that branch
which was to be at the disposal of the Greenwich
Treasurer himself, the causing the same to be immediately
paid to the Or order of the Treasurer of the Navy
would be, to any the half of it, rather a superfluous
measure.
That the clause at so The clause which thus prescribes
the fund out of which the matter of remuneration
is to be drawn – had it happened to it to place itself set itself down in the place
next to after the clause in which the distribution to be made
of that pretious matter is pointed out, the little anomoly
here in question would probably not have taken place.
But when where rhetoric is cultivated throughout at the expence
of logic, hyperbaton is a figure of speech among the figures in which it can
not but be found frequently
to display itself.
