To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It might happen that some remote consequence of the truth that 90 is to 115, as 18 to 23, might seem to interfere with a remote consequence from the other truth, that the sum of the squares of the two sides is equal 137 the square of the hypolhenuse of a right-angle triangle. But no force of seeming inconsistency could invest such a conse- quence with the power of making the other verity untrue. If so, then the practice of reasoning retrogressively, through infer- ences, from fact to fact, is a... fallacious practice; and one which will not be resorted to by those who respect the principles of phi- losophical logic. It is not at all more reasonable to have recourse to this method where one of the facts is more certainly known than the other, than it is in those cases where both are equally certain. For it can have no place unless this less clearly known fact is first assumed to be false, which is a mere pctitio principii. So long as divines continue, in opposition to the methods of all true science, to adjust among themselves differences of interpre- tation, by the aid of abstract principles, they cannot complain when atheists reject Christianity altogether, by another applica- tion of the same sort of argument.
