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 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.
