Fallacies Ch. Cause & Obstacle Confounder
§.4. Exp 2

1

All circumstances that with reference to the effect in
question, operate neither as causes nor as obstacles, are
uninfluencing circumstances. Of these there would be
it would be absurd to attempt giving a catalogue, and
not of much use to look out for examples: since for this
purpose any one other concomitant circumstance that could
be named would might answer well as any other.

If in the character of a cause of with reference to the effect in question
in these were any circumstance altogether uninfluencing could be found that by
any person of note had ever been mentioned in the
character of a cause, some little light might perhaps by
the bringing it to view be thrown cast upon the subject. Probably
enough however no such example might be to be found.
Why? because in the conciliating attracting directing the public favour in behalf toward
of a circumstance of this description sort, nobody has
any interest: the circumstance, which [in regard to]
which a man would be capable of finding an adequate
interest in bringing forward in this character would be
a circumstance w the tendency of which is was to operate
in favour of his own particular interest though to the
prejudice of the universal interest but in favour of his
own particular share in it: and, if admitting this be its character
then by the supposition it is with reference to the effect
in question, not an uninfluencing circumstance, but
an obstacle.
