obstreperous brethren out of doors. Not that this is a conduct I would by any by means
to be recommended to him, Note † The tranquillity and good temper of a disputant is in proportion to the
inward consciousness of the aptitude of his arguments to produce conviction.
Accordingly Mathematicians so long as they confine themselves within the
province of their science, cannot be and accordingly never have been otherwise
than tranquil p.181
(though upon the score of what is commonly called justice, they
certainly would have no reason to complain,) because I am as firmly persuaded, if anything can be
almost as, if an thing that is future, predicated of the future it is that in this country at least, it such violence never can be
needful: I mean needful to his own purpose, for his purpose as above described, I must a purpose which this volume is
confess, is mine. So far from recommending it, if it depended upon me, I is the purpose of this Volumeintended to forward. And Here no lesson will be given
would utterly forbid him, on pain of joining at any rate with his antagonists which persecution is to enforce. It were better far to join the ranks
against him, because I think it not needful to secure, it is the very way of all of the antagonists for nothing is so likely to frustrate the ends of
others to frustrate his own end. This I say, is what I would not recommend truth as to league it with the infliction of useless suffering. This the Moralist Deontologist
to him; but what I would will not recommend to the Politician – but what may be safely recommended to him (and it will be perfectly
competent to the purposes as well of punishment as of defence) is to let them talkers
talk on, and never to give himself any trouble about what they say. Let him
but pursue his end industriously, and show that he pursues it, he need not fear
but that in a free and enlightened Country (indeed in any Country, he doing
what I suppose him
if he give such an example) the majority of the people will give ultimately lend him their concurrence,
and in the Deontologist he will find a mighty ally.
