NOTORIETY. Tables Use to Legislators.

A Man who has the whole Law with which he has to do thus spread out
before him, will have the same just as much advantage
I was going to say over him who toils through
it in the common method, that a Man
travelling on Horseback over a tract of Country as over
one sitting in peeping out of a Coach: but he will have
more; for the prospect even of the Horseman
is stopped by the first tall Hedge that's near
him: he will have the advantage of one who
has ascended to the summit an eminence of an Observatory; a mountain
with this difference, that he who views a Country
from an Observatory the mountain in proportion as he is elevated
above the surface level of it views the objects less
distinctly & under a smaller angle; whereas
so in this mental prospect every object thing is alike
distinct & in it's due proportion.

What is that General, who neglects any opportunity of taking such instruction which the nature of Country puts into . What is that General who not ever neglects to take
this advantage whenever at every opportunity which the nature of the Country
puts [it] into his power
