Σελίδα 37 - A circle is a plane figure contained by one line, which is called the circumference, and is such that all straight lines drawn from a certain point within the figure to the circumference, are equal to one another.
Σελίδα 147 - When we say, All men are mortal Socrates is a man therefore -•'Socrates is mortal; it is unanswerably urged by the adversaries of the syllogistic f.
Σελίδα 154 - All inference is from particulars to particulars : General propositions are merely registers of such inferences already made, and short formulae for making more : The major premise of a syllogism, consequently, is a formula of this description : and the conclusion is not an inference drawn from the formula, but an inference drawn according to the formula: the real logical antecedent, or...
Σελίδα 108 - Achilles run ten times as fast as the tortoise, yet if the tortoise has the start, Achilles will never overtake him.

Σελίδα 144 - Logic is not the science of Belief, but the science of Proof, or Evidence. In so far as belief professes to be founded on proof, the office of logic is to supply a test for ascertaining whether or not the belief is well grounded.
Σελίδα 151 - If a man is asked a question, and is at the moment unable to answer it, he may refresh his memory by turning to a memorandum which he carries about with him. But if he were asked, how the fact came to his knowledge, he would scarcely answer, because it was set down in his note-book : unless the book was written, like the Koran, with a quill 1rom the wing of the angel Gabriel.
