Allotting to the expression of those groupes of fallacies which appear /seem/ to apply themselves respectively to the imagination and the judgment the classical appellations of arguments ad imaginatonium[?] and arguments ad judicium, the following are the appellatives /denominations. that have presented themselves as capable of serving /applicable/ to characterize and distinguish the groupes /component/ /condividual[?]/ taht may be formed by the subdivision of the inordinately ample class the component elements of which would on the same plan /principle/ of denomination be termed arguments ad affectus. Arguments 1 ad vericundiam

2 ad quietum

3

ad socordiam

4

ad rectum[?] / sin timoriam[?]/ 5

ad superstitioriam

6 a superbriam 7 ad odium 8 ad amicitiam 9 ad invidentiam.

In the arranagement /distribution/ thus made imperfections will be found the removal of which, should the removal of them be found practicable and at the same time worth the trouble, must be left to some experter hand. The denominations themselves not in every instant sufficiently distant from each other: the articles ranged under them respectively not appertaining with a degree of prosperity sufficiently exclusive to the heads under which they are placed - To these objections not to mention others /no answer that appeared/ satisfactory answer has been found.

Imperfect as it is, the arrangement it is hoped will still it is hoped be found by the reflecting reader be found to be act altogether without its use

    On /After/ looking over on this view the different groupes that lay on the carpet, waiting as it were for names, the following were pitched upon as the set of names that presented themselves as most applicable /being such as might with least objection/, or rather to confess the truth, as least inapplicable - as applicable with least objection, to the /so desirable a/ purpose.

    On the occasion of this research, the term argument /[argu]-ments/ ad vericundiam, was a term that presented itself somewhere, and indeed as it seemed to one[?] by more authors /than one author/ of report, as having been applied to the purpose of giving denomination and connection to a class of arguments were so many false whatsoever might be the /their/ number and variety would turn out to be so many fallacies. To the class thus formed and denominated viz. arguments ad vericundiam it was found might be referred I found those which in both senses might be termed the leading ones: articles /instruments of persuasion and deception/ which besides being second to none in the order of importance, might with advantage be placed first /claimed on conclusive grounds the precedence/ /made to stand first/ in the order of delivery and utterance /enuntiation/.

    The choice had been made and acted upon for some months, when by accident it was found that of this leading class of arguments under this very name mention had been made by Locke. +

    1 Fallacies or Arguments ad judicium - Fallacies addressed to the judgement or judicial faculty, and having, always[?] for their tendency and frequently for their intended effect, the misleading it.

    To this head or class be found /may perhaps be seen/ to belong the following fallacies.

    1. Question-beggers device: or say, Eulogistic and Dyslogistic-appellative brandishers device; or say Laudative and Vituperative appellative /denomination/ brandishers device. In the case under the guise of a single term an entire proposition is added to it is smuggled in, and /being/ ladden in the belly /substances/ of it

    Take for instance the word faction. By the word faction is conveyed the idea of a political party: and attached to /and included in/ that idea is the assertion made the intimation given that of its being a pernicious party a party of a bad complexion, and acting in prosecution of bad designs. In this then we see an example of a vituperative, condemnatory, vituperative or say a dyslogistic epithet. We see moreover an /one and the most efficient/ exemplification of the sort of fallacy commonly called in Latin petitio principio /from the the logicians of it[?]/ in English, the begging of the question, that is, begging of the thing in question - of the matter in dispute: begging, or rather secret /clandestine/ assumption of the matter in dispute.
