Authority) of wise men is also admissible : past Facts, chiefly by Signs, of various kinds ; (that term, it must be remembered, including Testimony ;) and future events, by Antecedent-probabilities, and Examples. Example, however, is not excluded from the proof of matters of Opinion ; since a man's judgment in one case, may be aided or corrected by an appeal to his judgment in another similar case. It is in this way that we are di- rected, by the highest authority, to guide our judgment in thos...e questions in which we are most liable to deceive ourselves; viz. What, on each occasion, ought to be our conduct towards another ; we are directed to frame for ourselves a similar supposed case, by imagining ourselves to change places with our neighbour, and then consider- ing how, in that case, we should in fairness expect to be treated. This however, which is the true use of the celebrated precept " to do as we would be done by, " is often over- looked ; and it is spoken of as if it were a rule designed to supersede all other moral maxims, and to teach us the in- trinsic character of Right and Wrong.
