1927. April 9th.
15.
Of lengthiness, efficient
causes are –
Unnecessary particularization
of both
incumbent
Unnecessary particularization
of the two
sexes and correspondent
genders.
Specific enumeration,
where the import
in be conveyed by a
single collective, or say
generic term.
Where the subject of
dedication includes
associated bodies as well
as persons, employment
delivers words instead
of some such single
word as persons with an
given once for
all.
Involvement, by imbedding
of a proposition in
another, instead of
or subjoining it.
16.
Lengthiness pernicious
not only as conducive
to over-bulkiness, but
also to the opposites of
clearness: to obscurity
abd ambiguousness.
17.
Thus of the use of extraordinarily
particularizing
formularies, the
consequence is that
where particularization
is omitted through inadvertence,
the natural inference
is that it is
omitted by design.

Thus if in a lengthy paragraph,
the locution persons
or persons be employed,
and subsequently the
word person be used in one number
only, the inference is
that the word is in that
case applicable to that number
alone, and not to the
other.
19.
To these several imperfections,
the remedies are
afforded by so many corresponding
rules.
