3. Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856) |
BELIEF. The conviction of the mind, arising from evidence received, or from
information derived, not from actual perception by our senses, but from. the
relation or information of others who have had the means of acquiring actual
knowledge of the facts and in whose qualifications for acquiring that
knowledge, and retaining it, and afterwards in communicating it, we can
place confidence. " Without recurring to the books of metaphysicians' "says
Chief Justice Tilghman, 4 Serg. & Rawle, 137, "let any man of plain common
sense, examine the operations of, his own mind, he will assuredly find that
on different subjects his belief is different. I have a firm belief that,
the moon revolves round the earth. I may believe, too, that there are
mountains and valleys in the moon; but this belief is not so strong, because
the evidence is weaker." Vide 1 Stark. Ev. 41; 2 Pow. Mortg. 555; 1 Ves. 95;
12 Ves. 80; 1 P. A. Browne's R 258; 1 Stark. Ev. 127; Dyer, 53; 2 Hawk. c.
