Against these views, and, indeed, against the great body of valuable thoughts so admirably presented in this work, no rational objection would seem to be fairly adducible. ❋ Various (N/A)
For it is clear from history that religion is liable to degenerate, and has in many instances degenerated instead of progressing; and even if it be impossible to prove conclusively that Monotheism was the primitive historical religion, there is nevertheless a good deal of positive evidence adducible in support of this contention. ❋ 1840-1916 (1913)
There seems no other instance adducible from history of a religious thinker who has moulded on permanent lines the institution which he quitted, while assigning causes for its abandonment. ❋ 1840-1916 (1913)
But few of those who have been most decided in their rejection of obsession or other preternatural or miraculous manifestations have taken any pains to examine the adducible evidence. ❋ 1840-1916 (1913)
This hypothesis, to say no more, will fit well all the facts -- for instance, the universality of the belief in evil spirits and any evidence adducible for actual influence on men, whether in the records of demonic possession and magic in the past or in the phenomena of modern Spiritism. ❋ 1840-1916 (1913)
On metaphysical principles we can have no valid ground for deciding that such a thing as demonic obsession is impossible, and it is a more reasonable, as well as a more modest, course to keep to means of knowledge within our reach and examine the evidence adducible for the actual occurrence of obsession. ❋ 1840-1916 (1913)
Few -- and very few -- are the adducible instances in which, in the reigns of George III., ❋ George William Erskine Russell (1886)
It is not requisite, in order to entitle social custom to the right of being respected, that in each particular case a definite moral or other rational ground be readily adducible for its continuance; this is in many cases even impossible; and though, of course, the custom, if legitimate, must ever have its sufficient reason, yet this reason is not always a universally-moral one. ❋ 1819-1870 (1873)
Space will not permit any review here of the various theories in regard to the builders, or of the objections made to the theory that they were Indians, or of the historical evidence adducible in support of this theory. ❋ Cyrus Thomas (1867)
[333] _Dialogus Adamantii_ is not adducible within my limits, because ❋ John William Burgon (1850)
Maule (the Solicitor to the Treasury) to Birmingham to investigate the evidence adducible against the magistrates, but I do not much expect that they will proceed to any extremities against them. ❋ Charles Greville (1829)
It was defined among the great ancient navigators long before the use of the name of geodesy, that the idea of an actual notion of the existence of universal scientific principles was expressed in adducible cases of actual practice, such as the practice of Sphaerics and the work of the maritime culture of the Pythagoreans such as the celebrated Archytas. ❋ Unknown (2010)
The essential principle of physical economy, since, as we may say, the discovery of fire, has been that relative increase in the adducible productive powers of labor which is expressed in the form of physical-scientific upgrading of the work of the human mind, an upgrading which has always had, for as long as mankind has lived as mankind, the effect of a technological-progress-driven increase of the net, physically productive powers of labor. ❋ Unknown (2009)
The other is the relative depletion associated with increase of the population and of those consumption requirements which are increased by the effects of both the raising of the adducible equivalent of capital-intensity of production and existence otherwise, and the requirements of resorting to relatively poorer resources to meet the increased intensity of needs. ❋ Unknown (2009)
In viewing the awful predicament which, once again, menaces the existence of the human species on this planet, the considerations which I have selected for sampling in the preceding sections of this report, appear to be the only adducible remedy for the presently immediate threat of a general thermonuclear and related holocaust on this planet. ❋ Unknown (2008)
It may well chance that even an argument demonstrative, if understood, may be adducible against some one sentence of a whole liturgy; and yet the means of removing it without a palpable overbalance of evil may not exist for a time; and either there is no command against schism, or we are bound in such small matters to offer the sacrifice of willing silence to the public peace of the Church. ❋ Henry Nelson Coleridge (1820)
