If this age is essentially irreligious , the basic cause of our irreligion is our sense of self-sufficiency . The linguistic rendering of this insight is the problem of negative existentials : ‘ Atlantis does not exist ’ is about Atlantis . If this conclusion is just , the whole business of a jury , upon the trial of an information for writing and publishing a seditious libel , may be said , in few words , to be this : " To enquire into the conduct of the person charged with having written and published the paper in question , by the means of the evidence of witnesses , and of such fair inferences as they , the jury , by their natural reason and good sense , are able to derive from the said evidence ; and , having thus discovered what the conduct of the said defendant , with respect to the said charge , has been , to compare it with the conduct imputed to him in the information ; and , if they find it to be the same with the conduct imputed to him in the information in all points , to affirm the information , by finding the defendant guilty of the charge in the manner and form set forth in the information ( for those are the words used in a verdict of conviction ) ; and , if they find his conduct , as proved by the evidence , to fall short of the conduct imputed to him in the information , in any of the four points above-mentioned , to deny the information , by finding the defendant Not guilty of the charge in the manner and form set forth in the information , which are the words used in a verdict of acquittal . That 's just a fringe benefit , however , because this book is , quite simply , a good read .
