Logical High-Fliers

All men do not see into the theory of this operation:
but all men are continually witnesses of its effects.

As by this means instrument that power that belongs to the political
sanction is exercised, so by the same means instrument is
the power that belongs to the popular or moral sanction
exercised: it is exercised in a mans favour, by attaching
to his proper name a generic name of esteem: it is exercised in
his disfavour by attaching to his proper name a generic
name of reproach

Of this we have seen instances under the head of
Personalities vituperative and Personalities laudative.

To lessen the estimation in which a man is held
and by that means lessen the force with which an argument
from him may operate on other men by the influence exercised
by it on their the such derivative judgment as it may happen
to them to form in relation to the subject matter in question,
a g generic name of reproach as above is attached either
to the individual himself, or to the what comes to the same
thing to the measure or arrangement he is occupied in
supporting, or the argument by which he is supporting it.
and thus by this fallacy the power of the popular or moral sanction is
abused, and applied to the purpose of deceit.
