From p. 1. No 1.
[(F) Instrument] Or Document . 1. No matter what the Substance. It matters not of what
nature the instrument is. It may be any kind of substance whatsoever
to which such a form has been given as fits it for serving
as a permanent sign of discourse. A piece of painting for example, or
drawing or sculpture , a piece of tapestry weaving or needlework , or any thing
which has taken the impression of a seal or stamp , may any
of them serve as instruments of discourse.
2. — Nor what the Characters. It matters not of what nature the signs or characters are
which the instrument is made to exhibit , so as they be calculated
to serve as instruments of discourse. It matters
not whether they are such as are ordinarily and constantly
used for that purpose , such as the letters or words of a
language , or such as are used by particular persons only and
on particular occasions ; such as those on private and public Seals
