Constitutional Code for Greece

Preface

Territory, name, etc.

?. Divisible into Enactive, Expository,

Rationale and Instructions to the Legislative

What is now sent is the Enactive part only.

To J.C. and R.D. Note to be attached to p.1. by reference from the word I Enactive part in the title

{I Enactive part} Throughout the whole of this part of the Code Two other parts accompany it - the Expository, and the Rationale: the Expository, for fixing the import of the leading terms, by appropriate Explanations and Exemplifications: the Rationale, by indication given of the principal reasons by which the arrangements were in their several distinguishable parts recommended. But though the preparation of these two subsidiary parts has uniformly gone hand in hand with that of the principal part neither of them could be got in readiness for the present occasion. Here and there however, should time allow portions more or less considerable of these parts may perhaps be now added: and the remainder, in proportion as it is adjusted will follow.
