§.3. Non-Partys

To expose /expunge//get rid//clear away/ of such part of the difficulty as can be cleared away /got rid of/ the occasion by which the examination in question is called for, must be distinguished into three cases -

1. The fact acquired of /subject of inquiry/ is a past offence, say a past crime, the continuation, or repetition of which on any determinate occasion is not apprehended. This case by which the legislator is relieved from the principal part of the difficulty, is happily by far the most common one.

2. The subject of inqury is the means of assuring the forthcomingness /the timely justiciability/ of a particular individual, for the purpose of punishment, he being known, or more or less /on grounds more or less persuasive/ suspected, of having been author or partaker of a past offence, say of a past crime, as above: or what may come to much the same thing, the prevention of a scheme for exempting him from punishment by the destruction of the evidence /for an offence/ necessary to his conviction.

3. The subject of inquiry is a crime - say a crime importing extensive and consistent[?] /serious and extensive/ danger to the publice - a crime of the chronical cast + supposed to be commenced and still going on, or /though projected only//as yet only in project/. On the point of being commenced: the object or end in view is the preventing this perpetration of such part of it as is yet unperpetrated. Say a plot like the English Gunpowder plot contrived and preceded upon but prevented from being consumated: a plot like that of the French infernal machine, consummated to the destruction not of the intended victim of the first Magistrate, but of a number of innnocent individuals in his stead: a plot like that of the French infernal machine, consummated to the destruction not of the intended victim of the first Magistrate, but of a number of innocent individuals in his stead: a plot like that of the Anglo-Americans in a period of hostility, with the British incendiary John the Painter /for the agent/ for the destruction of the combustible part of the naval stores in England, a plot the execution of which was performed in part and meant to be continued: a plot like the vaguely proposed scheme of the British diplomatist for the destruction of the several gunpowder Mills[?] in /the [...?] country of/ France, by the hands of such French agents as might be found: - a plot, supposing any such scheme to be hatched.

§.6. Extraordinary

What then is to be done? without some means /species of compulsive force/, and that the most promptly as well as certainly efficient that human nature admitts of, there is /one sees/ no bounds to the mischief that may be done: fire and water will not await the slow formalities of justice. For want of /them/ it, the mischief may be perpetrated, and a country laid in ruins: by the help of it, the mischief may be staid or prevented, and the country saved. Exemplified or not within a known and limited period, in this or that particular country, mischief of this kind can not in any country be deemed visionary: not to speak of foreign hostility, they are in every country among the natural fruits not only of established civil war, but of the insurrections and disturbances that lead to it.

Such it may be said, they are but contingent: and in a country fortunate enough to be unaccustomed to such outrages, they inspire no alarm + they are never looked to as probable: no habitual, no general alarm is seen issuing from any such

source. On the other hand, establish torture, visiting it as in order to meet the possible mischief in its full extent, you must do, in the hands of every local magistrate in the country /kingdom/ /whole territory of the state/, a constant and universal alarm is produced - an actual and incipient alarm, merely to keep out a very rarely exemplified and contingent alarm, sinister in kind and not decidedly superior in degree.

I. Sponte Acta

First steps in an Analysis in the form of an Encyclopedical Tree shewing how to draw a circle round the subject and how to invent or discover what remains to be invented or discovered in this field of knowledged.

[Col. 2]

26.

Agents.

Beings considered as sources of motion are termed Agents.

27.

Agents considered in respect of the degree in which the effect is dependent on those who are

1. Principal

2. Subordinate

28.

Among agents all that are not animals, and among animals all that are not human are of course subordinate.

29.

Among human agents, every individual is subordinate with reference to those of whom is composed the government under which he lives.

30.

1. Discovery Corporal

1. Objects of Discovery—in respect to modes[?] put 1. /Things themselves/[...?] things/ in the forms in which they exist previous to the disscovery.

/1./I/ Portion of Land.

31.

/2./II./ All bodies in an unimproved state. viz:

1. Mineral

2. Vegetable

3. Animal

32.

III. Articles in an improved or even factitious state, in the event of their having been lost i.e. so circumstanced that either their existence or their situation is unknown.

33.

IV. Celestial Bodies. See Extraction 41.

34.

II. Ideal

II. Modes of giving birth to things of a new form or species.

[Col. 5]

35.

2. Extraction Modes

By extraction separation of a thing from the body which is its natural source viz. Land dry or covered with water.

36.

Examples of it are—as applied to

I. Minerals

1. Digging out

2. Pounding

3. Smelting

4. Carrying away

37.

II. Vegtables

1. Felling (Timber)

[Col. 6]

39.

2. Extraction

3. Importation

A portion of matter condisered as a raw material is either of home growth or foreign growth.

40.

In case of home growth an operation necessary to be performed in all cases, and the first that is necessary in all cases is Extraction.

41.

In this case an operation by which that of Extraction is preceded in some cases, not preceded in others is Discovery. See 30.

42.

If of foreign growth, then the first operation that comes to be performed upon it on home ground, is Importation: which is to home articles what extraction is to foreign articles.

[Col. 7]

43.

4. Naturalization.

5. Improvement

Preservation.

4. Naturalization supposes previous importation either of the individual article itself or of the parent stock.

44.

It is a sort of negative improvement: the absence of deperition or deterioration.

45.

5. Improvement is a title applicable to home-produced and imported articles.

46.

6. Preservation is a sort of negative improvement: it is the absence of deperition and deterioration.

Sources of The distrinction belonging to this head—

1. Qualities in respect of which the deterioration may take place

2. Efficient Causes of the deterioration or deperition.

Conveyance

7. Conveyance.

local

The labour employd in conveyance is a charge bearing in a greater or less degree on almost every article home-produced or imported—improved or unimproved—on every article/except/except the fruit a man plucks and cuts as he sits under ‘his own vine or his own fig tree’

48.

8. Conveyance legal of the rights of property concerning the article form one proprietor to another.

49.

This species of conveuyance is a natural /tho/and/ usual accompaniment of the other, but not a necessary one. Rum may go from a mans plantation in Jamaica to his house in London without change of proprietorship. A table may be sold or given by the [...?] inhabitant of one room in a house to the inhabitant of the next, with very little change of place.

[Col. 9]

50.

9. Exportation

9. Exportation. By exportation of /any article/any part of the matter of wealth from the home country to a foreign country the mass of wealth in the home country can not in a direct way receive any encrease.

51.

But, /unless/except/ in the case where a thing is exported gratis from the home country to the foreign country (as in the case of a /present/gift/, a tribute or a pledge) exportation from the home country is /a/an/ event necessarily connected either as a condition precedent or a condition subsequent with importation into it.

[Col. 10]

52.

10. Employment.

10. Employment.

An article of rude produce may be employd by being employd either in the way of immediate use, or in the way subservient or remote use.

53.

Employed in either way it will be employd in the way either of prompt consumption or consumption more or less slow and gradual, according to its nature.

54.

Of employment in the way of subservient use whatsoever is not included in Extraction, may be referred to fabrication.

55.

A branch of fabrication is manufacturing, but the word manufacturing is seldom applied but[?] on the supposition that to those articles when fabricated is destined to become the subject matter of exchange in a commercial way—in the way of trade.
