comparison and discrimination, by which a knowledge of the

avoided the peril; by a series of wrong judgments he
forfeited confidence.

That in the salte sea my wife is deed. --Chaucer.

1); esp., when unqualified, the faculty of judging or
deciding rightly, justly, or wisely; good sense; as, a man
of judgment; a politician without judgment.

disagreement. See 1. The comparison may be threefold:

concepts giving what is technically called a judgment.
(3) Of two judgments giving an inference. Judgments
have been further classed as analytic, synthetic, and
identical.

upon comparison and discrimination is acquired. See 2.

A judgment is the mental act by which one thing
is affirmed or denied of another. --Sir W.
