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.”
