Chap. 22. 202 THE CHART AND SCALE Sect. IV. The Truth of Facts. rjp^HOUGH derived from the same first -^ principle of knowledge with mathe- matical and physical truth, that of facts, logically viewed, is essentially different both from the demonstrations of the one, and the deductions of the other. It differs from them, as well in its nature and constitution, as in the mode of reasoning employed. This species of truth enjoys the peculiar and exclusive privilege of being both intui- tive and sel...f-evident. As soon as presented, it is palpably and irresistibly felt at once ; and it is so immediate, that it flashes convic- tion upon the mind through the medium of the senses, when sound and well-informed, without an act of direct comparison. It is so strong and invincible in operation, that it defeats the powers of judgment. Thus fact and truth, in common and vernacular lan- guage, are synonymous words ; and the OF TRUTH. 203 Strength of its evidence cannot be more forcibly or pointedly expressed, than by the vulgar phrase — " Seeing is believing/' As these truths are not only the most numerous, plain, and common of all others, but of the most interesting and personal concern to men ; in condescension to their feelings and necessities.
