About this book
Newman sets out to ask how a person comes to hold a belief firmly when the evidence is not a strict proof. Part I treats assent and apprehension, with a chapter on notional and real assent and another on religion. Part II turns to assent and inference, with chapters on certitude and on what he calls the illative sense. The work, first published in 1870, is dedicated to the lawyer Edward Bellasis, and its title page names Newman as of the Oratory.
