FALLACIES of the FACULTY, with NOTES,
_ By Dr. TURNER.

_
" He that opposes his own judgment against the consent of the
times ought to be backed with unanswerable truths ; and he that has
truth on his side is a fool, as well as a coward, if he is afraid to own
it because of the currency or multitude of other men's opinions."—
