Fallacies Preface
1 1
§. Offer to disapprovers
§. Offer to contribute, as far as may be, to the obviating of any
deceptions tendency on the part of this work.
Upon a general survey taken of this list of fallacies deceptive arguments
an observation which, as it has presented itself to the writer author
can not but present itself to readers — one class of readers in
particular — is that the practical inferences presented by
it can tend have principally — used even not much less than exclusively
in favour of democracy in favour of
democratic ascendency: and in favour of parliamentary
reform — and that of the radical cast, in particular
An inference which may accordingly may be liable to present
itself is — that the promotion recommendation of parliamentary
reform was had been from first to last the primary object —
the end in view: and that the notion conception of giving to
the present work nothing more than a vehicle contrived devised
for that particular purpose: from which, in the eyes of
those by whom the charge so denominated is not approved,
a further inference may be — that taking fallacy in the
aggregate, the one one great object the work had for one of its objects — though
that but a secondary and subsidiary one, the promotion
-ing of fallacy, and not as professed the exclusion of
it.
