esTe Of tie mini, called Prejudice, the
chief we can align, ieem to be 'sff'.ff'
edueation, and long babI. !,
In,erea, by inducing the mind to dwell
conaantly on the arguments which fupport
favcritc opinion, gives them at length,
by frequent meditation, ftfength and
importance, which their own inirlnflc va
he by no means entities them to-. At
the fame time, all arguments which opp0se
,hi. tavorite opinion, as they give tome
degree of uncainefs, are either baniihed
as much as poiiiblc from the mind, OF ellie
induafiouly extenuated and weakened )
tho latter are generally avoided, or flight
ly conGdered the former eagerly fought
after. Nothing gives more force TO this
resfoniag than the common obtervation,
that mans opinions may frequently be
difcovered by the books which he delights
in, and his party by the new spaper which
he reads. Were truth his iole and fincere
plrfuit; and were he not more anxious to
OBTAIN iupports TO his favori;e opinions,
than TO apply himfelf impartially to this
puyfuit, his conduct would indeed De very
diGsgent he would not thus indulrioLhy
feek means to warp bis own Judgment,
and TO fill his mind with error. have met
with many fuch perfons | have heard
them with much confidence, cenfure au-
thors, whom found they had never read
and of Whole writing they appeared to be
extremely ignosant; have heard them ex-
pend plertitul abnle on the doctrines OF
books, when, in faa, thofe books con-
tanned no fueh doctrines and | have
known them deliver opinions and criticize
meafures, when it appeared that they
were extremely ignorant OF the common
and public fats, upon which alone, the
propriety or inpropriety Of thofe mealures
and thoic opinions could be decided. The
evident cauie of ali this was, that they
were verled only in the facts and argu-
men.s on one Gae Of the queaion, that it
was irkfome TO them to confult the
fources from whence they might hear all
the evidences on the other fde; and in
refpetf to what evidences they bad heard,
they were more anxious to weaken than
to weigh them.

PREJUDICE, arialy fpealling, i'm
plies the adoption Of an opinion p,evioa,
to the att of reatoning; but in common
language it is frequently uGd in more
enlarged lenle.
would define Prejudice to be the main
tanning of opinions, without being able
to aaign any luaicient reatons for them
and without being able to controvert
the arguments which refu,e thofe opini-
0ns.
1t may perhaps be objected to this def
milton, that there are fonc men of plain
good fenfe and found judgment, who ne
verthelefs, are unable to express thenfelves
either in fpeech or writing and who, con.
icqacntly, cannot fupport their own OPT
Mons, nor ccntrovert thofe of their oppo-
nent.
To this I reply, that if a mans opini-
ons are founded on arguments, he mutt
certainly know thofe arguments that pro-
duced his conviction.
And if bis opinions are nat founded on
arguments, they nuR be founded on Preju-
dice. The att of Emply expecting our
thoughts is one thing, eloquence is ano-
Their f: an argument may be equally forci.
bic, although deRitute of all the ornaments
Of eloquence.
tt however, undeniable, that when
men, unaccufomed to ipeaking, enter in
to real controversy, their minds are gene
rally 70 dilcompo!ed by this unufual en-
pioyment, that their ideas do not flow in
their uiual train, and many neceGary ar
guments do not preient themfelves al the
time they are wanted. Want of ready
memory alto may frequently incapacitate
man from calling up all his arguments.
But allow any man to have frequent con.
yerfation, at his full lciiurc with a friend
before whom he is under no confraint, &
it will before long be dilcovered, whether
he fupports his opinions by found argu-
nents however deficient ne may be in good
language. If neither in this way nor by
writing, man may be able TO make his
argument. ineligible to others, l fancy
it will generally be found that they are
equally 70 TO hinieIf, and that his ideas
ere vague and confufed.
Prejudice is frequently detected by find
ing 9 perfon extremely ready to admit
a. a5Graa propohtion, when he does not
know the application oft; and neverthe-
lefs, vellemently denying the very lame
pcopoision, when it is applied to certain
perfons, parties, nations, or eircsmlan-
c.s; although no fuficient realon of fuch
exception to the general rule can be aflign-
ed.
