578 FALLACIES. 



I am sorry to add, of Brown, that they should have persisted in asserting 

 that Berkeley, if he believed his own doctrine, was bound to walk into the 

 kennel, or run his head against a post. As if persons who do not recognize 

 an occult cause of their sensations could not possibly believe that a fixed 

 order subsists among the sensations themselves. Such a want of compre- 

 hension of the distinction between a thing and its sensible manifestation, 

 or, in metaphysical language, between the noumenon and the phenomenon, 

 would be impossible to even the dullest disciple of Kant or Coleridge. 



It would be easy to add a greater number of examples of this fallacy, as 

 well as of the others which I have attempted to characterize. But a more 

 copious exemplification does not seem to be necessary ; and the intelligent 

 reader will have little difficulty in adding to the catalogue from his own 

 reading and experience. We shall, therefore, here close our exposition of 

 the general principles of logic, and proceed to the supplementary inquiry 

 which is necessary to complete our design.
