As to the Outs, they it must be observed, they in their position and so long as they occupy that position have no such abuses or imperfections which they are under any obligation of defending: to them /their purpose the[?] in such their position and capacity/ therefore no fallacy in so far as it belongs to that stock, so far as it is not employable /applicable/ but to the purpose of defending whatsoever is in use can be rendered subservient.

One parcel indeed there are /is/, the /common/ property of which to the contents of which belongs the common property of being capable of being applied on either side applied to the purposes of that side. But when those either-side fallacies are deducted, still of those which are applicable /employable/ to us but are of these situations to the exclusion of the other, there remains a great overplus applicable to no other side than that of the Ins.

    Fallacies Ch | | Ins employ mass

    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.

    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.

    . 5. II of the Outs

    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.
