1. Suppose Let the rule of action – the standard of rectitude – be conceived to be
to be exist, throughout its whole extent, in the form and state of statutory
law. Being, in throughout its whole extent, expressed by a determinate
assemblage of words, the whole matter of law is now
included in that collection mass of words: no question of law
no such question can be started, that does not turn upon the intention of the
legislator, as deducible from some one or more articles
in that collection of words.
Of Those words some will be words in general use, elementary
parts of the main body of the language words in
every mouth, and the meaning import of which may and must
thence be presumed to be in every head, and words in
particular or special use. These words may be called technical or scientific terms ⊞ scientific best, to match with a useful distinction in regard to evidence – scientific evidence, terms the use or at least the frequent confined use of which
is confined to persons occupied in the exercise or or study
of some particularly profession, art or science. These scientific
terms are will be either non-jurisprudential or jurisprudential.
In regard to non-jurisprudential terms, useless it then the import of them⊞ ⊞ (unlessin so far as where it may have been thought fit to consign an explanation of them to the statute book itself,)
will always upon every occasion be to be sought from the testimony of persons
conversant in that the particular course of action – profession
or other profit-seeking occupation – art of science: these will
form no part of the matter of law.
