4.1 of the

Ins

The meloriative causes seem principally referable to one or another of two general heads, viz. 1. the ameloriation of experience. 2. the continually increasing facility given to the body /by the operation of the party[?]/ of the people (ruling and other leading members of the community included, by the operation of the press for availing themselves of the body of experience so accumulated.

/of/ The pejorative causes the description and test will vary with the nature of the constitution or frame of government

Under the British Constitution they seem all comprizable under one head /three heads/, viz. increase of the quantity of the matter of corruption: whereby, the House of Commons which should operate, and in appearance continues to operate and in so far as it is of use operates in reality as a check upon the executive government - upon the power of the crown, is liable to be and in a great degree has been converted into an instrument serving for the protection and increase of those abuses which it ought remove /effect the removal/ and prevent.

2. Increase of its efficiency.

3. Insensibility of the people: viz. with reference either to the existence or to the mischeviousness of the disease

    '. 4. Fallacies of the Ins - their general nature

    On the part of the Ins as on the part of the Outs the demand for fallacies is constituted by the abuses /demand for fallacy is constituted by abuse/ that happen to have place in the government: and the urgency of the demand is proportioned /runs in proportion/ partly to the quantity of the article /mass thus requiring to be defended/, /and which require to be defended against its assaults and all assailants and all assaults/ partly to the quantity of the interest which men have in defence of it.

    All governments since the invention of the press at least, all government have on the one hand a natural tendency to improvement /meloriation/: that is in all governments there are causes the tendency of which is to become productive of that desirable effect.

    But all governments have also a natural tendency to pejoration to corruption: that is under all governments there exist causes operating in an opposite direction /acting in a direction opposite to that of the former/ causes the tendency of which is to become productive of that undesirable effect.

    Happily the causes of meloriation are those of which the action will be found to be most steady and /constant - most/ uninterrupted, and in general upon the whole the strongest. similar in this[?] particular to the ordinary vital powers of vegetable and animal nature.

    The causes of corruption /pejoration/ will be found to be but casual and accidental, coming principally from without, similar in this to those accidental causes of promative[?] decay or external injury to the action of which those natural bodies stand exposed.

    Observations

    The fallacies which are alike capable of being made to serve the purpose of the Ins and the Outs: which are so many instruments of deceit alike capable of being taken in hand and employed with more or less advantage to the purpose, of those who have powers in expectancy only, namely in the event of their being substituted[?] to their adversaries, [...?] be the purposes of those who are to the purpose of the expectant party as of the party in possession have been already brought to view.

    Those which are peculiar to the case of the Outs of the expectant party come /be/ within a very narrow compass.

    They seem to be all of those referable to one or other of two intimately connected, and but little different heads. 1[?] the Blind Place-abhorrers cry; and the Blind Job-Denouncers[?] cry.

    If undertaken to comprize under this enquiry /comprehend within the limits of this essay/ all the arguments or instruments of persuasion to which the appellative of fallacies might be found applicvable would be to grasp at too wide a field. A choice being to be made the best choice that can be made will be acknowledged to be, the ch[...?]ng such as /those which/ in the scale of importance, meaning practical importance, appear to occupy the highest place. Political fallacies is a term /an appellative/ under which by far the most amount in this time[?] will be found comprizable.

    Fallacies of the ins; fallacies of the outs; and Either side (a) fallacies - under one or other of these terms /specific appellatives/ be found familiar to a degree of triviality they will not be the less intelligible If to these concise appellatives it be /there be any reader to whom it will/ more agreeable to substitute for his own use long-winded ones, he has the author's free leave for it.

    Of this division it were to much to undertake to present the component members as being in so perfect a degree distinct and opposite as to render the division capable of abiding that logical test of a good division good in the sense of the logicians which according to the laws laid down by logician every division to entitle itself to the appellative of a good one, ought /must/ to be able to abide. It were rather too much to undertake for, that the fallacies ranked in the class of fallacies of the inns thence[?] shall on no occasion be found applicable to the purposes of the outs: that those[?] [...?] [...?] fallacies of the outs shall in no case be found applicable to the purposes of the inns or that the sides /either side/ fallacies shall at the same time be applicable with exactly equal advantage to the purposes of the ins and to the purposes of the outs, and at the same not applicable to any other than party purposes, on the one side or the other, as above.
