In the Edinburgh Review for August 1925,
is a condensed and instructive notice, or Jeremy
Bentham's Book of Fallacies, from which We
deem the following extract well worthy OF con-
sideraton:
Our Wise Ancestcrs-The Wisdom Of our
Ancestors-Ths H'isdom of Ages Venerable
Antiquity- Wisdom Of Old Iianss.-Ihls mis-
chievous and absurd faacy springs from the
grossest perversion of the meaning OF words
Experience is certainly the m6sAer OF WISDOM
and the old have of course, greater experience
than the young; but the question is-W no are
the old, and who are the young! VI individuals
living the sam period the Oldest has, OF course
the greatest experience; but among generations
of men the reverse of this is true. Those who
come first (our ancestors) are the young people,
and have the least experience We have added
to their experience the experience OF many cen-
turies; and therefore, as far as experience goes,
are wiser, and more capable of forming an opn-
ion, than they were. The real feeling should
be, not, can We be so presumptuous as to put
our opinions in opposition to those OF our an
cestors? but, can such young, ignorant, inexpe-
renced persc ms as ancestors necessarily were,
be expected to have understood subject "a well
as those who have seen 30 much more, hVeo so
much longer, and enjoyed the experience of so
many more cent ries? All this cant, then, about
our ancestors, is merely an abuse OF words, by
transferring phrases true OF contemporary men
to succeeding ages. Whereas Gas we have be-
fore observed) of living men, the Oldest has
ceteris peribus, the mcst experience OF genera
tions, the Oldest has, cG erid peribus, the least
experience. Our ancestors, up to the Conquest,
were children in arms chubby bodies ~ the
time of Edward l. ; strippngs under Elizabeth
men in the reign of Queen Anne; and we only
are the white e-headed, silver-headed ancients,
who have treasured up and are prepared to proht
by all the experience which human life can sup
ply. We are not disputng with our ancestors
tie palm of talent, in which they may or may
not be our superiors, but the palm of experience
in which it is utterly impossible they can be uur
superiors. And yet, whenever the chancellor
comes forward to protect some abuses, or 10
oppose some plan which has the increase OF
human happiness for its object, his hrst appear
is always TO the wisdom of our ancestors; ard
he himself, and many noble lords who vote with
him. are, to this hour, persuaded that all aitera-
tons and amendments on their devices are an
unbushing controversy between youthful temer'
ity and mature experience land go, IN truth
they are, only ttat much-loved magist ate MIS-
