Panopticon Bill. Introductory Obser<hi rend="superscript">ons

The texture of this Bill may perhaps be observed to be in some respects not altogether
of a piece with the patterns in common use.

The difference, if it should be found to consist in nothing but the rendering the matter
so much the easier to refer to, the expression so much the more intelligible, unambiguous & comprehensive,
as well as concise, so much the better adapted, in a word, to all the ends of language,
will I hope not be deemed an objection, at least not a conclusive one: if it should, I would
undertake if required, arduous as the task may be, to dress it up in the most prevailing stile:
and I would beg to be allowed to do so, rather than that that part of a business in which
I am so nearly concerned should pass into other hands: having had such manifold occasion
to observe that the customary superfluities are commonly bought at the expence not only of
conciseness & apprehensibility, but (strange as it may seem) even of comprehensiveness &
precision.//
