. 1. Use of this work

Ch. 1. of Political Fallacies in general.

'. 1. Use of this work - Uses derivable from the exposure of the fallacies here brought to view.

But for the uses expected from it this little work would never have been undertaken: these uses are comprizable within a short compass. Service rendered to the general welfare /well-being of the community in general/ - to general happi to general utility, to truth in so far as the knowledge of it is subservient to general utility: the adoption of useful measures in general - of useful measures as such, promoted and probabilzed the adoption of pernicious ones opposed and obstructed and disprobablized.

Fallacies are instruments of persuasion in a peculiar degree adapted to the promotion of pernicious purposes /wrong ans[?]/ as such of whatever nature or description they be.

The service rendered in this line - should it so happen that in this line any service should prove to be rendered will have in place no other limits than those of the habitable earth - in place no other limits than the duration of it in a habitable state.
