Preliminary
Observations

Power of Regulation

to what prejudice itself in of
a set of heads had been prescribed for the [+] [+] that very case of Pawnbrokers. In the Statute of the Books.

therein required to be kept by that class of Dealers.
These heads, not having been found sufficiently
particular and minute, another Statute was made
a few years afterwards 36.G.3.c.87.§5. in which
amongst other things the type of Book-keeping was
resumed "Time and Place of Abode" two of the
heads indicated by the prior Act, not having been
found sufficiently particular & descriptive for the sort of person in question,
viz: the of the goods, two other heads
more were added, viz: "the number of the House
"if said to be numbered
" — and "whether such person is a Lodger or Housekeeper ...by using the Letter
" L if a Lodger and the Letters H.K. if a House-Keeper" —
It would be easy to shew that in regard to the abode
this mode of description is not sufficiently
particular in all cases, and that under favour of the [+] occasioned by [+] varieties in local nomenclature exhibited by the several denominations of of Towns
Villages, <add> Hamlets,
Streets, Lanes, Alleys Courts Squares, Places, Circus's &c the measures
thus taken by Parliament for making the person of

many instances be classed and be rendered ineffectual: but even for their

for seven years coming as it was necessary it should come from Parliament: — the experience
of as many weeks would might have been sufficient to
suggest it by and to obtain it from a permanent Board a lot of Commissioners. The above
imperfection dupliciousness may be considered as affording even
exemplification of the unavoidable imperfections
which must necessarily attend be the necessary <add> continual result of the attempt to descend
into of such on the part of an authority so
unwieldy as that of a Parliament, and so incapable of
collecting that body of n particular and ever varying variable
experience on which the penalty of forming proper decisions in regard to them must ever depend.
