3. Not from education.
This sort of unreasonableness is usually imputed to education and prejudice, and for the
most part truly enough, though that reaches not the bottom of the disease, nor shows distinctly enough whence it
rises, or wherein it lies. Education is often rightly assigned for the cause, and prejudice is a good general name for
the thing itself: but yet, I think, he ought to look a little further, who would trace this sort of madness to the root it
springs from, and so explain it, as to show whence this flaw has its original in very sober and rational minds, and
wherein it consists.
