What type of evidence is used in this excerpt from "the crisis, no.1" by thomas paine?
i once felt all that kind of anger, which a man ought to feel, against the mean principles that are held by the tories: a noted one, who kept a tavern at amboy, was standing at his door, with as pretty a child in his hand, about eight or nine years old, as i ever saw, and after speaking his mind as freely as he thought was prudent, finished with this unfatherly expression, "well! give me peace in my day." not a man lives on the continent but fully believes that a separation must some time or other finally take place, and a generous parent should have said, "if there must be trouble, let it be in my day, that my child may have peace."
