§. 2

David Hume's theory—Sole Causes of belief and disbelief, vividness and faintness of ideas.

In the character of materials constituting the foundation of persuasion affirmative and disaffirmative—in other words in the character of causes of belief and disbelief—belief and disbelief in general and therefore in particular as applied to testimony, other principles, differing from this and from one another have been presented by other hands. Of each of them, for the purpose of illustration, viz for the purpose to plan the above account in the clearer point of view, some account of each of them may have its use: some account and in each instance in very brief one, it is supposed may suffice.
