4 Aug. 1809 2 Fallacies

Ch. 2. Personalities laudation §.1. Enumeration

2

4 Subjects of laudation on this occasion will be virtuousness of the character of the persons in question in all points

Virtues of the members subor of government in general — meaning the subordinate members of in all departments, the meaning here by subordinate all the several members, with the exception of the only, viz. the sovereign, — who though in one sense but an individual constitutes by his dignity a class apart,. Virtues of the Ministers and other persons in high situation — virtues of the Sovereign, these two constitute the only particular fallacies arguments which it will be material to distinguish under this head.

5 Inference, presumable needlessness inefficiency or mischievousness of the proposed measure, as above

1. The measure tends to produce a chan in the situation and conduct of the members of government or some of them a change which either from by their own declaration it is known, or from the sort of change of which it would be productive it is concluded inferred they would not approve. Practical inference, as above before oppose the measure So excellent is their character and disposition disposition as well in respect of intellectual as in respect of moral virtue, that from the circumstance of their disapproving opposing or disapproving of the measure the badness of it may be warrantably and safely be inferred concluded. [Practical inference as above, oppose the measure.]

6 In the case of the sovereign the argument presses with a firm superior proposition the superiority of which is proportioned to his superiority or dignity.

2. Like argument in the case of the sovereign; differing only from and rising above the other in the scale of force in proportion to the superiority which in this case has place in the scale of rank and dignity — Oppose the measure.

7 Nearly coincident with this class f fallacies is that of fallacies which see.

A division of fallacies near of kin with this, but not exactly coincident with it is that which is composed we shall find composed of the arguments ex authoritate, and which a little further on will present themselves to view under that head.
