Abbrevative arrangements

Abbreviation or say anti-repetitional arrangements

Arrangements having for their object diminution of the lengthiness
of the which is the at present established form is given to the discourse lengthiness as applied to the aggregate; and
lengthiness as applied to the several component parts.
in its most comprehensive extent. Employ the denomination of aggregate of
these to me, and give a list of the several elements or say
component objects: : and therefore to the several names of the
articles substitute that of the aggregate. Another if there be not
such any such general denomination already in use, form make one.
From the Statute Book lists might be given of this kind, each of them yards
long, number of times repeated infinite: from this work of one
Author one short instance may serve. In his Code under the head
of Registration, in speaking of the substratum in which the document
stated a Memorial is required to be written, the location is
this to wit — A memorial, written on vellum or parchment: With
this location common Articles 93. 95. 97. 98. Means
of abbreviation one Statute saying once for all that it
is on vellum or parchment, that the discourse is to be written: whereupon
might be added not on paper: reason obviating laceration and in that case the range of
of the specification — a consideration which might otherwise
be passed over, where the specification might appear trifling, brought
to view

After exposition give for omission of one of the
two numbers singular and plural, where one can be made to
serve. According to the context the singular may be made to have
the effect of the plural as — if any person does so need so to state
he punished so and so: in which case, according to the context either the plural or the singular
may be employed. But in some cases both will require to be
mentioned, as where what is said is meant to be predicated of
the objects taken separately as well as taken collectively.

So in regard to gender. An all comprehensive explanation exposition
as to stating in which cases, if in any the masculine shall be
understood to include the feminine. In the case where the name
suffices the word person suffices answers the purpose perfectly.
Unhappily there exists not any pronoun correspondent to it: hence
here comes the necessity in ordinary discourse the use of the masculine
pronoun, where the female sex is meant to be comprized. In Statute
when
when both sexes are intimated
both sexes in some instances are
the pronoun of both sexes
are employed in others,
the masculine alone

in the one case; uncertainty,
in the other.
