By thus increasing of the surface, I flatter myself I

Short sentences. I flatter myself I have done something is done towards the giving
transparency to the composition, by thus increasing of the
surface

Distribution The first Sections (after the interpretation one compose what may be stiled the
Constitutional part of the Law belonging to this Title,
that which concerns the powers of Funds of this little
Aristocracy, with the powers & duties of it's superior & inferior
members. The rest regards the different classes
of persons who are subject to come within the
sphere of it's Jurisdiction

Method perpetual. This principle of order once being [well] infused established, will be their needs
no other to the end of Time to keep the whole System from relaxing
into confusion. Is a new regulation thought fit
to be inserted added to under any Title? that regulation as every other must
concern one, at least, a certain class of persons — it must prescribe
their Duties, or impose on them restraints.

That class is either one noticed before by the Law before, or
now for the first time. Are Is it then in the first of these cases? The
regulations in question add one or more Articles to a
subsisting Section? Is it in the latter case? They go to compose
a new one. The Burthen of the Law meantime, to the of any but those no other class but that immediately affected by the new addition it receives, no way increasing its dimensions The Burthen of the Law increasing its dimensions [] to the cases of those most affected by the new receives Is my addition or alteration become

Mr Barrington in his observations on the Statutes,
has very properly observed made a very proper observation that for certain purposes
the Statute Book collection of these Instruments is may be regarded as the work of
the same Author. It is therefore still a much less
stretch of fancy to regard each Statute by itself in the this same
light: which I shall take the liberty to do, for the convenience of discourse for shortness,
although to speak justly many of the
blemishes on which I shall have reason to
arise from the case's being otherwise
In a numerous & mixed assembly, there are always
more who are ready with patches of their own to put in, than
who have well studied consider'd the texture of the ground, whether
it wanted such patches or will be such as those patches are wanting for or will
suit with. If I may be indulged with an observation a little out of time To introduce the observation a little out of its place The more this is apt to be the case,
the more call is there is for some general plan
for cutting out the work which all may keep
before them & conform to, to be investigated, if possible,
& agreed on.

So long as the Collection Statute Books remains in it's present state
of [exemplary] confusion, these remarks as far as they serve to
exemplify shew the consequences of want of system, will never
be out of season.

Many of the errors pointed out, in the Act, share the
satisfaction of seeing rectified in the new one: the
use however of the passages which point them out
will not on that account be altogether superceded:
they will still serve to in the 1st place to justify
[to the public] the necessity of those alterations that have been made, & to shew point out to
all along to the cause, (the want of system means) that which made
them necassary. & to refer them all along to that precise & universal cause, which originally gave birth to it

When I declare, as I do, not less through conviction,
than out of ........
that
I shall I hope be acquitted of entertaining any personal
design. [ this before for opposite. Mr Barrington

As no man takes to himself an observation a remark made to
the prejudice of human nature.

This I hope will be sufficient to obviate the undesigned
effects of any thing that might be to some a cause
of pain, & or to others of malicious pleasure.

The blame will lie not on him who pushed driven <add></add> on by
habit & example in the current of habit & example
contributes to the accumulation of the evil, but on
any one him only, who recognizing within himself the efficacy of a
remedy, apply it should forbear from indolence or a worse motive
to concur in it's application.
