Fractional and Integral and fractional. To
the ratiocinative matter which sometimes grounds itself in
legislative compositions, applies this distinction. In
some instances expressed in entire the from first to last Sentences or say propositions, in others expressed at the commencement and to
the length of any number of pages in incompleted sentences
is the matter of this sort attached to the main
body which of course is of the enactive kind.
When in the integral form, the ratiocinative matter
may relative place in which the ratiocinative matter is
inserted may be and is sometimes at the commencement of
the enactive matter of the decision in question, sometimes at
the conclusion, sometimes intermixt with it.
Where it is in the fractional form in no one of
those three relative situations is it known perhaps to have been
placed other than the initial.

In French legislation considerant is this ligamental
word: In English in English considerant: and to it the preposition que in English
that: in English Legislation, Whereas. That which the
material strings employed in the rack are to the bodily torture
of which that engine is the instrument those metaphysical figurative strings
with which thus employed in threading together the broken sentences are thus threaded together
are to the attention of those whose misfortune it is to be
obliged to apply that faculty on such a subject.
In the English Statute Book one specimen of this instrument
of torture is to be seen stretching the length of 13 quarto pages in the
minute and close packed page of Ruffheads Edition of the Statutes.
Many an amusing Novel the torture administered to the poor of antecedently to the lying
