| Having thus far established:
|
| 1st.  The distinction of thing, form, and representation;
|       together with the subsidiary one of object, logos, and image;
|
| 2nd.  The distinction of sign, symbol, copy;  [index, symbol, icon];
|
| 3rd.  The definition of logic as the general condition of the reference
|       of symbols to objects;
|
| 4th.  The difference between deduction, induction, and hypothesis;
|
| 5th.  The fact that every mental representation is a symbol in
|       a loose sense, and that every conception is so strictly;
|
| 6th.  The fact that hypothesis gives terms or problematic propositions;
|       inductions propositions strictly speaking -- assertory propositions;
|       and deduction apodictic propositions or syllogisms proper.  That
|       thus every elementary conception implies hypothesis and every
|       judgment induction;
|
| 7th.  The relations of denotation, connotation, and information;  and
|
| 8th.  The peculiarities of simple, enumerative, and conjunctive terms;
|
| we found ourselves in a condition to solve the question of
| the grounds of inference by putting together these materials.
