Mode of applying
to practice the rules
prohibitive of these
modes of imperfection
The conclusions are not elegant and categorical - only indirect,
disjunctive and hypothetical: -
if this be not insufficient,
that is superfluous
A sound Copier teaches more ideas than he himself knows
§. Mode of applying to practice the rules prohibitive of
these modes of imperfection.
§. Of what mode of proof the existence of these imperfections is susceptible
In regard to the rules correspondent to and prohibitive
of these several modes of imperfection whether they have
or have not been in this or that instance a transgression
of them has or has not respectively had taken place
is a question which will very seldom be found
susceptible of any direct and categorical solution.
Indirect and hypothetical and disjunctive will be the only sort of
solution of which they will be found susceptible: of
two modes of remuneration apportionment if the first be not insufficient,
the second must be superfluous: if the second
be not superfluous, the first.
In looking over the state of existing practice, it
instances th in which this sort of solution imperfect
as it is, are found with is afforded, will not be
wanting.

Examples
1. Species of service
the same,and restraining motions to be overcome the same
bearing whose are to be engaged the same allowance greater to one ... than another
demand
for service the same
To the same species of service the demand being
in both cases indistinguishably the same, a greater the
allowance greater in one of two cases than in the other
3
Other things the same as above, to persons bearing equal parts in the serive the allowance different: or allowance made to some person bearing no parat in it at all.
To the same individual service, the demand
being in both cases the same, the allowance allotment made to
one of two descriptions of persons concerned in it bearing equal parts in the rendering of the service, greater than
to the other: or what is still more simple and
conclusive, if two descriptions of persons each both of to whom
on the same occasion an allotment is made, the
one contributing more or less, the other nothing at all,
to the production of the effect.
