Penal Code.Form
Ch. Phraseology
§. Expositive mode
Throughout this Code the expos species of exposition employed
will mostly if not altogether be – not definitions, but
paraphrases. Not that the definitional form could not have
been employed: for every offence is a species of action: the
species of offence has the species genus action for its superior
genus. But by the repetition made of this intimation on the
occasion of every species of offence no additional light would
have been afforded cast on the subject: which on the other hand the proposition
would unavoidably have been rendered more lengthy and involved.
☞ Show this now by an exemplification. Give then as to Offence
against person, reputation &c. But this will not be to be done till the
whole list of expositions has been gone through.
