Ch. XII Judiciary collectively
(3) (9 §. Locable who.
18
The greater the experience
and ability the of the
advocate the greater effect
will have his delusive
arguments in support
of wrong
The greater the experience and ability of the Advocate
the greater stronger will be the power of the facility he possesses for bringing in support of
any position whatsoever the arguments and considerations
capable of best calculated for giving effectual support to or
for rending the support given to it effectual: hence the ability
of the Advocate being a given quality, the creation the body nest
of argument brought by him in support of the position
be it what it may to which he is occupied in giving his
support, the more strength probative is the circumstantial
evidence thus afforded of the falsity of it. Such then is the
benefit advantage capable of being reaped from benefit capable of being made,
derived by the community from the ability of the accomplished
advocate.
19
But in fact his authority
is much below that
of the non lawyer
As to his authority, independently of his arguments
so far from being above the level of that of the non lawyer, it
is lies in an unmeasurable depth below it. The non lawyer
nothing more than his not being a lawyer being true of him
is upon a level with an average man as to the
sincerity of his distractions: while by the lawyer — at the his very
entrance into the profession all pretence to the virtue of sincerity
was deliberately abjured.
20
The profit of insincerity
too much to prevent the
habitual practice of it.
Too much for one and the same individual is
the union of the promise of profit of insincerity with the promise
of the opposite virtue. Too much for It What is the pretence
to the faculy of discernment, on the part of this man
by whom the union of qualities so incompatible is regarded
as being any where in existence, is regarded as being in any
instance probable.
