of the sort of Logic called
Liberal Logic. Chimæera
bombinans in vacuo, possit

A chimæra exploding in empty
space is capable of devouring
second intentions. the school
logic proposition is not true
because no such chimæra
is in existence. The mathematical
proposition concerning
the curve of the
50th order is not true,
because of any such curve
no exemplification is anywhere
to be found, no such
curve no individual belonging
to this species is anywhere to
be found. In logical mood and
figure the chimæra proposition
may have been made the subject
of demonstration: but it is not
the more true. In mathematical
mood and figure the
curve proposition may have
been taken for the subject of
demonstration, but it is not
the more true.
