Fallacies
Preface — Hamilton

III. In its different Modes — viz
1. By omission —
1 8. Aph. 164. If the whole of a question is against you,
speak to a part as if it were the whole.
2. 17. Aph. 228. If the principal thing in question is strongly
against you, consider what is the thing of the greatest
importance, and the most likely to please, which makes
for you. Dwell upon that, and touch the first only slightly.
To pass over entirely what is most material, would
be too gross. See 9.
3. 26. Aph. 350. Take down the heads of all the weak things
said in a debate, and give answers to them; and let the
strong things look after themselves.
4. 30. Aph. 366. Another idea of a definition is — an enumeration
of the principal attributes of a thing: in this you
may enumerate those which answer your purposes,
and suppress those which do not.
5. 9 Aph. 168. Do not omit totally, but only throw into
the shade, the capital circumstances that make against
you. See 17.
6. 2. Aph. 61. If you have no argument to object to, object
to a word. Do not assent to any thing on appearances
or on slight grounds, and much less on none.
7 35. Aph. 465. When it answers your purpose, state the
precise points in which all agree; and then recite those only
in which you differ. If it suits you, omit any one of
these.
2. By omission and false addition.
1. 5. Aph. 94. State as it serves, — that your view ought to
be enlarged, and circumstances taken in; or thrown out,
and your view narrowed.
2. 6. Aph. 114. By c collection of circumstances, piece out,
or if you can not do that, drop, what is defective; but
state clearly to your own mind what is so.
3. 37. Aph. 475. In stating any thing, drop some of the
circumstances that are not most invidious, but retain enough
not to make the fallacy obvious: add likewise others, which
if they do not actually, might possibly belong to it.+
