Examples

“There is a mixture of good sense⟳ and of what, for want⟳ of a better name⟳, people call⟳ prejudice: but to this mixture we owe⟳ our stability. The proper word is postjudice, a clinging to past experience⟳, often longer than is held judicious by after times.”

“Prejudice, in fact, is not so much the great intellectual sin as a thing which we may call⟳, to coin a word, “postjudice,” not the bias before the fair trial, but the bias that remains afterwards.”

“There is another prejudice, or post-judice rather, that may have⟳ conditioned my choice of heroes and heroines.”
