Evidence

Ch. 7
Of the Causes of trustworthiness and untrustworthiness in evidence testimony – thence of belief
and disbelief in regard to evidence.
§. 1. Intellectual causes General causes Connection between trustworthiness and belief.

To form any distinctly substantially grounded estimate of the
probative force of testimonial evidence, it will be necessary
to take a view on the one hand, of the causes of correctness and compleatness
on the one hand in other words of trustworthiness,(a) on the other hand – of deceptious incorrectness and
incompleatness, on the other hand in other words of untrustworthiness in human discourse.
an estimate the view of that force will be the more distinct and correct
Of those causes the clearer our conception is, of those causes the
more distinct and correct will be our estimate of that
and is in force: and to those causes, and to the conception,
more or less accurate, conception which in each instance it happens to us
to form in in relation to them, to those sources it is that we must look for the
only intelligible and practically useful account, that
can be given of the foundation of affirmative and
disaffirmative persuasion – of belief and disbelief.

Of trustworthiness, and of untrustworthiness, the causes
are to be looked for – partly in the state of the mental
faculties, intellectual and moral, of the individual, partly
in the state of external circumstances, to the operation
of which it happens to those faculties to be exposed.
