Consider

Outs the same person as the Euph: but their position different

The d greater or less demand they have for fallacies results from their reference[?] on their position.

Ch. or '. | | Why among the Ins the use of fallacies is more extensive than among the Outs

Ch. or '. | | Why in this work the largest space is occupied by the Fallacies of the Ins, are those which occupy the largest space.

By /On/ the bare inspection of it list, it will have been rendered obvious /evident/ to the reader /an observation that will naturally have presented itself to the reader is/ that of the three groupes into which the general stock of these has been distributed, the fallacies of the Ins are those which occupy /by which is occupied/ by far the largest space.

On the ground of this observation a natural question seems to be to what cause is to be attributed /from whence comes comes/ so great a difference /disproportion/? To one side /groupe/ of the House allotting to large a proportion of space, to the other, as well as to the groupe which are employable sometimes indifferently on either side /on one side sometimes on the other/, so small a /an one/ proportion is not this disproportion a proof of partiality, itself a sort of fallacy?

Questions these that seem to call for an answer, and an answer they shall have.

    The same individuals by who at one point of time occupy the position from whence they receive their denomination of the Ins, occupy at another time that opposite position which gives denomination to the Outs. In the difference between position and position, and not in any difference in point of character as between individual and individual is /must/ therefore be sought whatsoever difference there may be in respect of the number and variety of the fallacies they are respectively /went[?]/ in the habit of making use of /giving employment to/.

    But what has been already shewn is (+) that whatsoever finds himself in the position occupied by the Ins finds himself encompassed with /stationed in the midst of/ an immense stock /mass/ of abuses and other imperfections in the defence of which he finds himself not only /merely/ invited but compelled /constrained/ to be incessantly occupied: and it is the characteristic of the whole of that division of fallacies which some /ranks[?]/ /belongs/ under the title of fallacies of the Ins it is the /belong two/ characteristic property /properties/, that they serve /useful/ /effectual/ each of them tom the purpose of being employed in the defence of the whole and each part of the common stock of abuses and imperfections, and that they useless with reference to any good purpose or indeed with reference to every other purpose.

    If the measure be an improper /inexpedient/ one, it will be capable of being proved such /to be so/ by relevant arguments belonging properly to the subject, and without any aid from the quiver of fallacy /need of fallacies /weapons//.

    Fallacies sutied to the position of the Outs are therefore such arguments or observations as, although the measure in question, it being a measure brought forward by the Ins, be a proper and salutory one may be employed in such a manner as to present a prospect of casting discredit and repraoch upon the authors and promoters of it: and which at any rate have that accordingly for their object.

    To the fallacies which belong to this side of /position on/ the field of political warfare, the property of irreevancy will be seen not to belong so compleatly[?] and universally as to those which belong to the position of the Ins.

    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.
