Evidence
Probability is conformity, improbability disconformity,
to the supposed general and ordinary course of nature: i.e. to
the conceptions entertained concerning that course by
him by whom the probability opinion expressed
by these words repectively is pronounced.
Thus it is, that, in proportion to the ignorance
of the individual, and or the age, – i.e. to
its non-acquaintance
with the general and ordinary course
of nature – is the facility, in proportion to the knowledge
the difficulty, with which facts are regarded
as probable and true.
