Interpretation. Inserenda Law defined

☞ To come in at p.14

As to the particular application of this only this concluding it is more
than I can comprehend. As to the general
aspect
of it, any one may see that it is false.
The only form of reasoning by which instruction
is to be acquired, is that which by which Bacon, for example,
and Locke and Newton learnt what they have
taught us, is that which proceeds from "particulars
"to generals." Induction is that form. Locke's Book on Government
he has read, I suppose, since he has quoted
it, and taken from it some of that which
is least worth taking. The Essay in Understanding,
I hope, he never read, let us hope he never read. If he had, from [since he has being
made to had is] so little the better for it. In that he might
have learnt understood how much is to be learnt by induction,
and how little by any other "form of reasoning".
Even his own work Saunderson might have informed
him that there is such a form of reasoning
as induction: that it the nature of it is to argue from particulars to
generals, and that notwithstanding this, it is a "true"
one. But his misfortune was the good old verse our to our Author used to say by con
over
heart to his tutor, "Syllogizari non est ex particulari"
was, I suppose, still jingling in his ears.
