Grammar Barbarisms. Shall & Will &c
B. sets out with a distinct
practical object - the prevention
of mischief of all sorts,
and thence the prevention
of all such acts
as are apt to be the
cause of them - that
for the end - laws for
the means.
M. has no such practical
object - not so much
as any practical object ,
expressed or not express'd
us unless it be to furnish
rulers with reasons or pretences
for looking upom
their laws as good, and
unfit to be improved
how much soever they
may stand in need of
it.
It will be natural
for you to imagine that
I will fall upon some
shift to evade the force
of your arguments, & to
retain my former opinion
in the point controverted
between us.
Letter from D.Hume to Dr.
Campbell. Campbell
on Miracles I:6.
But if having common
sense I shall recur to
metaphysics, & submit to
be tutored &c ib.
There is a second
second supposition the
author makes, of a miraculous
event, in a certain
manner circumstances
& attested, which
he declares & I think with
particular propriety, that
he would "not have the
least inclination to believe".
