Would you wish thus to see a ground in which the
phrase appellation false wit – the epithet fase are the epithet false with the expression of censure sticking attacked to it may be employed with
real advantage, under the auspices with the of truth and justice? turn to
jurisprudence. It is there you may see false wit, false wit in
abundance, employed for the worst purposes, and with but too
much extensive an effect: – to the faculty of reason in the mind
to deprive the faculty of its sharpness and its strength: to
implant instate in the mind of the lawyer the art of deception, and in
the mind of the suitor the disposition to be deceived: to
to teach man to put up be satisfied with false sham reasons, as they would
with true ones
to look upon the man harpy of law as their friend, and him
who would rescue them from his of grip, as their enemy,
to a suspect be jealous of their friends, and have put no confidence but a
their enemies
to look take upon remedies as prisons, and present as remedies
to teach them to some of the worst of their afflictions to
a wrong cause
to accept of any thing as a reason, at the hand from those who never
speak to them but to deceive them, whose interest is in direct diametrical
in opposition to theirs: as that of the wolf is to that of the sheep
to be regard their afflictions as incurable, by referring them
to a wrong cause
to regard implanted and carefully cultivated abuse as an
ineradicable unextirpable weed, sown deep rooted by the hand of inexorable nature.

It is a truth but too well known by imposters of all sorts,
the more obsequious the pupil, the more powerful the instructor,
and the more shrewd the doctrine the stronger and more conclusive
the proof given of the obsequiousness of the pupil, and of the influence power
of governed by the instructor over his mind.⊞ ⊞ Imposters of all sorts
know this; imposters
of all sorts take build their advantage
of it, practice act upon
the strength of it. The sillier therefore the observation remark
the baser the which the pupil can be led to pay himself with under the name garb form of
a reason, the surer firmer the hold which the deceiver has on his mind.
