Paper Mischief

As I read on With all this I found not only a considerable
part of the arguments which had thus
already occurred to me and which the reader
will here see employed in substance, but
the main proposition the same which is also the
object of these pages made out in such a
manner as I make no doubt would have
made a convert of me had they come across
me at a time when my leaning towards the
opposite opinion was at the strongest.

Finding the cause in such able hands
for the clearness of statement, and closeness as
well as strength of argument was were such as
seemed capable of doing honour to any cause
I felt myself much inclined on several accounts at first to trust it all
there and withdraw from it: Several considerations
however concurred in producing a contrary
result. Though the arguments that had
were in part anticipated, this was by
no means the case as to the whole: though
the body quantum of argument therein contained was
sufficient to my own apprehension to prove
the point – and that in a sufficient degree for
practice, yet to the apprehension of others that
might not be the case. The prejudice to be
surmounted was such that the utmost force that
capable of being brought against it by human
reason might still prove insufficient after all
and different modes of reasoning are suited to the
conception
