Text Any textual data included in the document "I have argued with a Dr of Salamanca about Oral tradition; he produced logic and ingenious subtlety; I produced facts, that had fallen under my own eye; he adduced the accuracy of the Antediluvian pedigrees and other traditions; I produced the inaccuracy of what Oral tradition has preserved in Donegal in 1835, a more tangible epoch (era). He urged the perfection of the human memory; I urged the imperfection of my own, and the acknowledged treachery of those men of genius and sound learning, and quoted the vulgar and common place proverb 'Vox audita perit, litera scripta manet.' He argued from the immutability of the tradition of the Church; I from the forgeries of the middle ages and strikingly from these about Lough Derg in particular; from the fact that no six persons will (or can) separately relate the same story in the same words, order, or detail, and from the difficulty with which a case of open robbery can be proved to the satisfaction of men of wisdom and acquaintance with the laws of nature and Society. We ended like Mr. Owens and the American Preacher - the latter produced the Bible, the former his own twelve tablets."
