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 of 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.
