His skepticism related to the supposed substratum, or hidden cause of the appearances perceived by our senses; the evidence of which, whatever may be thought of its conclusiveness, is certainly not the evidence of sense.
"You don't ask me where I'm going," said the jailer, after a silence that seemed but brief to him, such a deal of argument he had dispatched, so many difficulties he had overcome in those few moments, whose like, for mental activity and conclusiveness, he had never seen before, and never would see again. "I shall be asked if I have told you. But where did you come from? Do not tell me your name.
The consequences of such a transformation, of putting immediate social convenience in the first place, and respect for truth in the second, are seen, as we have said, in a distinct and unmistakable lowering of the level of national life; a slack and lethargic quality about public opinion; a growing predominance of material, temporary, and selfish aims, over those which are generous, far-reaching, and spiritual; a deadly weakening of intellectual conclusiveness, and clear-shining moral illumination, and, lastly, of a certain stoutness of self-respect for which England was once especially famous.
If such be the progress of an experimental conviction of which the date is of yesterday, and which is in opposition to first appearances, how must it fare with those which are conformable to appearances familiar from the first dawn of intelligence, and of the conclusiveness of which, from the earliest records of human thought, no skeptic has suggested even a momentary doubt?
Hobart said she hoped she would come often, and let the girls run in and be sociable! And Grace Hobart says 'she hasn't got tired of croquet, she likes it real well! They're that sort of people, Mr. Thayne." "Oh! that's very bad," said Dakie Thayne, with grave conclusiveness. "The Haddens had them one night, when we were going to play commerce.
The preceding instances have afforded an induction of a high order of conclusiveness, illustrative of the two simplest of our four methods; though not rising to the maximum of certainty which the Method of Difference, in its most perfect exemplification, is capable of affording.
Thus all transcendental procedure in reference to speculative theology is without result. If any one prefers doubting the conclusiveness of the proofs of our analytic to losing the persuasion of the validity of these old and time honoured arguments, he at least cannot decline answering the question how he can pass the limits of all possible experience by the help of mere ideas.
Upon this, Mr. Colesworth, with all respect for French intelligence, denied the conclusiveness of French generalisations, which ascribed to women universal occult dominion, and traced all great affairs to small intrigues. The captain's eyes twinkled on him, thinking how readily he would back smart Miss Kathleen to do the trick, if need were.
"I am sorry, madam," I said finally, "but I have grown adamant to criticism. I have done my work as well as it lies in me to do it. It is the part of sanity to throw it aside without compunction. A work must prove itself. Shoo!" I said this with such conclusiveness and vigour that the critical old hen departed hastily with ruffled feathers.
"And I suppose I’m not," Jack answered, going over by the fireplace. "I know that as well as anyone, of course." "Natürlich," said Burnett, with conclusiveness that was not meant to be cruel, yet cut like a two edged knife. There was silence in the room.
