   • 1850, George Field, The analogy of logic, and logic of analogy, London: David Bogue, page 140 :

     In philosophy, however, it is to be deplored that eloquence too commonly passes for science, being mistaken for logical acquirement; but truth alone is the just eloquence of philosophy, and without it the finest composition is, to the logician, but babbling and vaniloquence.
