Fallacies Ch. Classification

On After looking over on this view the different groupes
that lay on the carpet, waiting, as it were for names,
the following were pitched upon as the set of names
that presented themselves [as most applicable, being such as might with least or rather
objection to confess the truth, as least inapplicable —] as applicable
with least objection, to the so desirable a purpose.

The following names
were pitched
upon in the above
view.
On the occasion of this research, [the term] argument -ments
ad vericundiam, was a term that presented
itself somewhere, and indeed as it seemed to me
by more authors than one author of reports, as having been applied
to the purpose of giving denomination and connection
to a class of arguments. In my view expectation of the matter
all these arguments [were so many false] whatsoever
might be the their number and variety would turn out to be
so many fallacies. To the class thus formed and denominated,
viz. arguments ad ad vericundiam might be referred if I found it was found these articles which
in both senses might be termed the leading ones: articles
instruments of persuasion and deception which besides being second to none in the order
of importance, might with advantage be placed first made to stand first claimed on conclusive ground the precedence
in the order of delivery incantation and utterance.

Argumentation
ad vericundiam
a name remembered
as sometimes given
to a class of arguments
which
in J.B.s view
are all fallacies
amongst which
some leading ones:
which b being
first in the order of
importance.
or others accounts
fit to stand first in
the order of incantation
The choice had been made and acted upon for
some months, when by accident it was found that of this
leading class of arguments had been under this very name
mention had been made by Locke.+
