Syn: Primitive; original; natural; underived; fundamental;
entire.
Usage: Radical, Entire. These words are frequently
employed as interchangeable in describing some marked
alteration in the condition of things. There is,
however, an obvious difference between them. A radical
cure, reform, etc., is one which goes to the root of
the thing in question; and it is entire, in the sense
that, by affecting the root, it affects in an
appropriate degree the entire body nourished by the
root; but it may not be entire in the sense of making
a change complete in its nature, as well as in its
extent. Hence, we speak of a radical change; a radical
improvement; radical differences of opinion; while an
entire change, an entire improvement, an entire
difference of opinion, might indicate more than was
actually intended. A certain change may be both
radical and entire, in every sense.

and devisees, and persons having actual notice thereof, unless such, bill of
sale, mortgage, hypothecation or conveyance be recorded in the office of the
collector of the customs, where such vessel is registered or enrolled.
Provided, that the lien by bottomry on any vessel, created during her

instrument of conveyance or certificate of discharge, fifty cents. Sec. 3
enacts, that the collectors of the customs shall keep an index of such
records, inserting alphabetically the names of the vendor or mortgagor, and
of the vendee or mortgagee, and shall permit said index and books of
'records to be inspected during office hours, under such reasonable
regulations as they may establish and shall, when required, furnish to any
person a certificate setting forth the names of the owners of any vessel
registered or enrolled, the parts or proportions owned by each, if inserted
in the register or enrollment, and also the material facts of any existing
bill of sale, mortgage, hypothecation, or other incumbrance upon such
vessel, recorded since the issuing of the last register or enrollment; viz.
the date, amount of such incumbrance, and from and to whom or in whose favor
made. The collector shall receive for each such certificate one dollar. Sec.
4. By this section it is enacted, that the collectors of the customs shall
furnish certified copies of such records, on the receipt of fifty cents for
each bill of sale, mortgage, or other conveyance. Sect. 5. This section
provides that the owner or agent of the owner of any vessel of the United
States, applying to a collector of the customs for a register or enrollment
of a vessel, shall, in addition to the oath now prescribed by law, set
forth, in the oath of ownership, the part or proportion of such vessel
belonging to each owner, and the same shall be inserted in the register of
enrollment; and that all bills of sale of vessels registered or enrolled
shall set forth the part of the vessel owned by each person selling, and the
part conveyed to each person purchasing.
