§. 4. I. The Physical sanction – its operation as a source of correctness
and of incorrectness.

In general, it costs less labour to report a matter
of fact, with its circumstances, as presented by the memory
than, at a moments warning, to invent, in a train of circumstances of a great length
than to moral circumstances, which, without being true,
