COMPOSITION. Expedients for abbreviation. recapitulated.[The blemishesvitiosities, for I fear am terrfied to call them defects, or by any term whereby want is apt to be suggestedby the name of defects, or any word that is commonly understood to mean what when superficiality
is the arch grievance] The vitiositiesblemishes, I say, to which every thing is owing that we have reason to complain of in the composition of statutes,
tho' many in number, are few in kind. Hence it is that the remedies, specific and sovereign as they arewill be boring, are also few. I will here recapitulate
them, that the reader may have the satisfaction of seeing at one veiw a summary of all the points that appear requisite to be attended to
.
1Obsoleta.Repeal, of as many Statutes and clauses of statutes as
are inoperative. The code of conduct regulated
by them having ceased. comparing limitations, or annexing and then, to Powers
totally taken away.2AntinomiaeOmission, of as many Statutes or clauses of Statutes,
more than one, as are contrarient, in Antinomiae.
3Homoionomiae Omission, of as many Statutes or clauses of statutes, more
than one, as are coin-cident, in Homoionomiae4Coadunatio Consolidation, of clauses, belonging to the same national
headThe word ["head"] is used in this place, rather than the word [title]; to avoid confusion from the double signification of the latter, dispersed through many acts, into one; this saves as
manyintroducing introductory prefaces (more than one) as there are Acts;—
2ndlyas many titles as there are Acts, whereof the whole contents
belong severally to a single head.[v.I.43 example]5DisPartitio Separation, fo clauses belonging to different natural heads
non comprized under one Act, in order to consolidate them
under their respective titles: this saves the proliarity of in the
titles [taken singly]. 6. Substitution, instead of explanation and amendment.Substitutio once Sarcenatronis.7 Omission, of the enacting formulary at the beginning of
every Section. Preambula Secho-nis8Omission, of Preambles nugatoryPreambuula Statuti9 Omission, of Preambles to repealments.10Generalization, of Clauses, of a general demand, hitherto
inserted particularlyoccasionally — v. Polychresta desiderata.By this means the sprate
Clauses that come under it, may be wary where omitted. As many clauses of a specific purpose as are uneludible under one clause of a general purpose.11Omission of general non obstantes.
