What I have saved in pleonasms, I
have spent in reasons: which, as the practice
is not without precedent, will I hope, as far as
the indulgence is thought reasonable, be preserved.
According to an established rule of interpretation,
or as Lawyers call it construction, as often as a Preamble
wherein it happens to contain any
matter from whence any thing in the shape
of a reason seems capale of being extructed
that reason is laid hold of and made the
most of. Reasons being therefore always looked
out fot Lawyers in Parliamentary compositions,
ad by Lawyers I hope it will not be thought either employable
nor unparliamentary or unlawyerable to give them:
especially so long as they take up no more than
a small part of the room made by the throwing
out of a of matter which is worn thou
useless.
