'. | | Eitherside fallacies - their general nature.

Eitherside Fallacies is a denomination that may serve to characterize /for the designation of/ all such fallacies as are alike suitable /suitable/ to both positions. viz. that of the Ins, and that of the Outs: being applicable at pleasure either to the /in defence/ of some abuse or imperfection of the existing system of laws, government and administration or or in some instances /in the case of some of them/ to the defence of individual misconduct and /or/ transgression on the part of administration - on the part of the Ins.

Being of the plainest nature it will readily enough be conceived of them in the way of anticipation, and upon examination it will in relation to them be evident, that they possess, all of them without exception, and in the purest form and most perfect degree the attribute of irrelevancy: in which respect they agree or hath been /will be/ seen perfectly with the fallacies of the Ins, and less perfectly with those of the Outs.

    For a reason of which intimation of which has been already given, it is on the side of the Ins that most employment will naturally be found for the fallacies for which as is the case with these employment or are in their nature capable of being employed in either side.

    Why? because it is on the side of the Ins that the demand for instruments of deception is naturally most extensive and constant and extensive.

    So long as abuses the defence of which in general the Ins, stand engaged by the common tie of sinister interest, /exist/ abuses will be defended: and so long as there exists any abuse to defend all means of defence, and consequently, all manner of deception applicable to the purpose of defence, for the defence of /to the purpose of defending/ abuses in general, will on that side be in demand and find employment, or at least persons disposed to give them employment so long as any the smallest particle of impressive force is expected to be found remaining to them.

    5. II of the Outs

    Fallacies - useful to the Outs are all that serve to defend[?] [...?] impede or discredit good measures proposed by the Ins

    ' 5 Fallacies of the Outs - their general nature.

    If, in speaking of the Outs regard be had to the persons thus described, in the fallacies in which the Ins find the means of defence for /for such/ /for whatever/ abuses and other imperfections, whatsoever they be, in which they behold sources of profit to themselves /which in defence of their more [...?]tendant interests they find an interest in setting to work/ whatsoever fallacies there be /may be to be found/ /in the vice of which/ in which /the dissemination of which they have an /a sinister/ interest, in the same fallacies have the Outs also the like interest: the difference between possession and expectancy being /constituting/ the only difference. (a)

    But, if regard be had to /Look at/ /Turn to/ the /this/ /circumstance of/ position in which they stand, /act,/ the fallacies which we belong to the position of the Ins, will be seen to have no application to the position of the Outs. The position of the Outs will at the same time be seen to have a set of fallacies peculiar to itself

    Fallacies peculiar to the position of the Outs, are such the tendency of which is to promote the discussion of the Ins: to promote it viz. in the only way in which it is in the power of arguments proper or imporper /relevant or irrelevant/ to promote any such event, viz. by lowering them /these measures, and thence the authors and promoter of these measures/ in the estimation of those to whom it belongs to judge, and whose judgement presents a prospect of being contributory to such event.

    (a) Note to say that [...?]utrates are here held[?] out of the account.

    The import of the [...?] Fallacies of the Ins, and that of the [...?] Fallacies of the Outs being given, the import of the term Eitherside Fallacies is also given.

    Eitherside Fallacies is a term employed to give /convey/ a general intimation of such instruments of deception as upon the face of them are /appear/ equally adapted to the purposes of the ins and to those of the Outs. Upon a nearer inspection /the side of the Outs us that on/ they will be found to be employed with most energy and advantage.

    /Of the term/ Anarchical Fallacies /is a term/ the import of which will present itself to view as not standing much in need of explanation.

    Under /To/ this common head may be classed /referred/ divers ways if not of arguing of speaking, the truth and propriety of which being admitted it would follow that government is a bad thing /institution/, and one that if at all, ought not by any body, for any length of time to be submitted to and endured.
