Of the Masses of Language applicable to each March of Law
The instruments, by which alone, with any considerable effect on any part of the field, and on this
case be conveyed in particular, thought can, with any considerable effect
be conveyed, are the materials of which language is composed:
say in a word the matter of language: proportioned to the aptitude
of this matter will be the success accomplishment of the
end to which the conveyance is directed. In so far as at
the commencement of a work such as the present, in so
far as this necessary part is already in a state of appropriate
aptitude, so far it is will: in so far as it falls short of being
so, endeavours must be made to give to the instrument
that which it wants, or the work itself must will be proportionably
inadequate.
The matter of language in so far as it belongs
to the field of the persons labour, the matter of language
will be found divisible into the following great principal masses.
1. Mass expressive of what belongs to the object or end in view of the work, the operation.
Greatest happiness of greatest number.
2. Mass expressive of what belongs to the workmen, the operators, persons
in the situation of rulers
3. Mass expressive of what belongs to the persons in general,
considered as the subjects of rule
4. Mass expressive of what belongs to the operations
appertaining in a peculiar manner to the present branch of law: operations, by which the workmen are placed in and occasionally
removed out of the situations in which they respectively
act as such: say, location and dislocation.
5. Words Mass expressive of what belongs to the aptitude of
those several operators with relation to their the several
parts borne by them in relation to the performance of the work.
6. Words expressive of what belongs to the indispensable
instruments employed all along in the performance of the work
namely the part of the aggregate mass of language that
part by which expression is given to the will of those same operators:
namely that which belongs is occupied in giving expression
to political ordinances
and the corresponding
arrangements respectively
produced by them.
