Chapter XVIII: Disturbing Causes

[101] The author was unable to continue this examination of errors—which are for those who are misled by them a nearly immediate cause of suffering—nor to describe another class of errors, which make their appearance in the shape of violence and fraud, and the first effects of which bear heavily on others. His notes contain nothing on the subject of ‹disturbing causes› but the preceding fragment and that which follows. We would also refer the reader to the first chapter of the second series of ‹Sophisms›, entitled ‹Spoliation›.—«Editor.»
