Read these lines from "Of Cannibals" and answer the question. . . . clever people observe more things and more curiously, but they interpret them; and to lend weight and conviction to their interpretation, they cannot help altering history a little. They never show you things as they are, but bend and disguise them according to the way they have seen them; and to give credence to their judgment and attract you to it, they are prone to add something to the matter, to stretch it out and amplify it.

In "Of Cannibals," Montaigne brings four kinds of evidence to bear on his argument, in part to satisfy his own skepticism and in part to write honestly to readers. In at least 150 words, identify and give examples from the essay of two types of this evidence. How does each type of evidence support his observations and claims?
