'. 1.[?] / 8/ Exposition - In what cases this argument is fallacious, in what not.

To quote an authority or authorities to refer to the opinion of this or thar person (this or that writer he must have been if any adequately /sufficient/ /adequate/ /sufficiently/ grounded dependence be placed upon the words stated as being /his/ expressive of his opinion /sentiments/ unless being on the occasion a spectre[?] his words have been taken down in short hand)

It is only after certian distinctions made /considerable limitations and exceptions made that/

To refer to the opinion of this or that person as constituting an authority upon the subject as an opinion which independently of any argument contained in it is fit to be taken for a guide /as a ground of decision/ or a practice to which any such dysolistic appellative as fallacy or device can with reason be attributed. According to the nature of the subject-matter and some other circumstance, it constitutes a reasonable /serves or helps to constitute a rational/ ground of decision, or belongs to the list of fallacies.
