Fallacies
Ch.

Additional use
of fallacies —
Uttered by a ,
it serves as a
watch-word to put
rest alt: an
to oppose.
By g of this Land are men really guided
any more than instructed? Of the mischievousness of any
even the most mischievous measure are they really made
sensible by observations which apply with equal force to
the lowest and to the best? No: but up stands somebody
who has this to say upon all subjects, and nothing else
upon any, and gives this as a watch word to shew men
which way they are to vote. By a little finger held up
from the same quarter, equal instruction would be conveyed,
and abundance of time saved.
From any of the particular arrangements proposed
can any particular mischiefs or dangers be pointed
out as about to flow? To do this would be to say
something: but this is exactly what the sort of wisdom
thus displayed never attempts.
Hobgoblin criers
Assignable, actually Resisting, pressing evils find are as nothing but to these
wise men: possible, and those not assignable, engross all monopolize their
their care solicitude. Commander Governors of fortresses an enemy Bankers, a theif rifling the
already upon the walls would not be worth their notice which would not be able to attract their notice find their eyes fast closed: their
only sollicitude care would be to keep out ghosts.
Snails pace-
preachers
Gradual in substituting certainty to uncertainty,
security to insecurity, imaginary law to real law, an imaginary
guide to a real one: the work of the legitimate legislator
to the work of the Judge, a self- condemned workman, working without tools or materials
observing his own work, pretending to find ready made whatsoever
he makes. Gra Slow and Gradual and caution
the removal of mischiefs
prompt in nothing but
the protection of it.
