I have left to inferior understandings the care of conducting the sailor through the hazards of the ocean, and reserve to myself the more difficult and illustrious province of preserving the connubial compact from violation, and setting mankind free for ever from the danger of suppositious children, and the torment of fruitless vigilance and anxious suspicion.
Taken in this sense we shall be under the necessity of agreeing, that the Platonic doctrines in no wise merit this distinction, seeing he has only drawn the human mind from the contemplation of visible nature, to plunge it into the unfathomable depths of invisibility of intangibility of suppositious speculation, where it can find little other food except chimeras or conjecture.
But if the suppositious stranger were led to study the men a little more closely, he would be tempted to correct his first impression.
But along with this authentic historical matter, cunningly intermingled with it, much that is 'supposititious, to borrow a term which this writer found particularly to his purpose supposititious in the same sense in which the speeches of Thucydides and those of his imitators are suppositious is also introduced.
All the general propositions which can be framed by the deductive science, are therefore, in the strictest sense of the word, hypothetical. They are grounded on some suppositious set of circumstances, and declare how some given cause would operate in those circumstances, supposing that no others were combined with them.
I believe it is not too suppositious to think that many of these variant individuals are really atavistic in makeup and have continued from one generation to another special defective traits of emotional makeup which are fortunately denied the average individual."
And I ask you further to bear in mind that the affirmance of the conviction was not had on fixed principles of law for the question was unprecedented but on a speculative view of a suppositious case, and I must say a strained application of an already over-strained and dangerous doctrine the doctrine of constructive criminality the doctrine of making a man at a distance of three thousand miles or more, legally responsible for the words and acts of others whom he had never seen, and of whom he had never heard, under the fiction, or the 'supposition, that he was a co-conspirator.
A gentleman of fame and family, says lord Bacon. What can be said against king James of Scotland, who bestowed a lady of his own blood in marriage on Perkin? At war with Henry, James would naturally support his rival, whether genuine or suppositious. He and Charles the Eighth both gave him aid and both gave him up, as the wind of their interest shifted about.
The speculations of the suppositious Indian sage, though quite as sound as those of many a "Mosaic Geology," which sells exceedingly well, have no great value if we consider them by the light of modern science.
The non-commissioned officer, one of the most brutal and despicable Prussians in the camp, seized his rifle and hurried to the Russian barrack. Here the two suppositious delinquents were pointed out. He went up to the Pole, and grabbing him by the shoulder, roared: "You've been fighting!" The Pole protested that he had not been fighting with anyone.
