Part 4 - judgment, adoptive

To indigenous belief
the some conception
of the subject necessary.
Be the subject what it may To the formation of an indigenous opinion persuasion
it is necessary that a man should have had some
conception, more or less distinct and vivid, of the in that same subject,
of the its nature, if it be a matter of fact; of its import, if it be
a proposition.

to adoptive
. Yes, as to matter if the subject be
of fact. But if
a proposition - no.
The believers confidence
will in it will
be as his confidence
in the person of
whose persuasion
he regards it as the
expression.
On the other hand But to the formation of an adoptive persuasion
it is not necessary that a man should have had any present to his mind
so much as the slightest conception about the matter. If it be matter
of fact, yes: some little conception, how indistinct and faint
so ever, - is the subject of the persuasion is altogether
wanting: [having no subject the supposed persuasion
amounts to nothing.] If it be a proposition, no:
proportioned to his confidence in the person, of whose
persuasion he regards it as being containing the expression, will
the persuasion is expressed being a determination,
will his own persuasion be.

To a demonstration
of La Place's in french a language
which he a man does not
understand, the belief
given by himself will be not
quite so intense as
if he understood & followed it up
but not much less
so as to practical
purposes, the nature
of the case as much
or more confidence.
Not understanding French and understanding or not understanding what has been brought to light in mathematics suppose a part mathematical
proposition put into my hand which I see thus
be a math much and no more viz. that it is a mathematical
one and have received what to
me is sufficient assurance that it is a new one
and delivered by La Place delivered of late as demonstrated
by himself, of the truth of the proposition
my persuasion I being competent to the subject - will
hardly be quite so intense as if understanding the language
I had followed up the demonstration and been satisfied
with it. Not altogether quite so intense: but for any practical
purpose, neither will it want much of anything, if being so:
the nature of the subject being in this case, such as to warrant a greater measure
measure of confidence reliance
on the persuasion declared
by any person
to have been formed and
entertained in that same
subject than perhaps as it should have
in any other case.
