The discovery 7 IV, I, 26 | by accurate enquiry and reasoning, we can trace up the particular 8 IV, I, 27 | by all that accuracy of reasoning for which it is so justly 9 IV, I, 27 | sagacious who could discover by reasoning that crystal is the effect 10 IV, II, 28 | experience are not founded on reasoning, or any process of the understanding. 11 IV, II, 29 | inference is made by a chain of reasoning, I desire you to produce 12 IV, II, 29 | desire you to produce that reasoning.

But I keep my mind still 20 IV, II, 33 | and confess that it is not reasoning which engages us to suppose 21 V, I, 34 | the end over any abstract reasoning whatsoever.
