PUPIL. I am rejoiced, worthy sirs, to find you in pleno assembled; For I have come down below, seeking the one needful thing. ARISTOTLE. Quick to the point, my good friend! For the Jena Gazette comes to hand here, Even in hell, so we know all that is passing above. PUPIL. So much the better! FIRST PHILOSOPHER. Cogito, ergo sum. I have thought, and therefore existence!

The arguments commonly brought against its application to all matters of medical observation, treatment included, seem to apply rather to the tabulation of facts ill observed, or improperly classified, than to the method itself. The post hoc ergo propter hoc error: he got well after taking my medicine; therefore in consequence of taking it.

Ergo, there was no sort of call on the Duke after beating Buonaparte to go to war with a booby. But he could not stand the fling at the fair. His correspondence seems admirable every way, and the whole affair was gone through in excellent taste, the Duke and Hardinge trotting out, the two peaceful lords rumbling down in a coach and four.

When an English ship entered the river, the priests forbade by manifesto the sale of slaves to the captain, he being a Briton, ergo a heretic, despite the Duke of York.

Griffins and travelling M.P.s are liable to suppose that the Malee is a gardener, and ergo that you keep him to attend to your garden. This is an error.

"But I know ye have," put in Mackenzie, nodding to his beard. "You will recognize that loyal and patriotic voice," said Raffles. "Mon, 'tis our auld acquaintance Mackenzie, o' Scoteland Yarrd an' Scoteland itsel'!"

Caret ergo etiam vinulentia et cruditate et insomniis. Sed si aliquid dandum est voluptati, quoniam eius blanditiis non facile obsistimus, divine enim Plato escam malorum appellat voluptatem quod ea videlicet homines capiantur ut pisces, quamquam immoderatis epulis caret senectus, modicis tamen conviviis delectari potest.

Accordingly, I may conclude that everything which I perceive as clearly and distinctly as the cogito ergo sum is also true, and I reach this general rule, omne est verum, quod clare et distincte percipio.

On the other hand if we find universal recognition of some fundamental truth, a common cogito ergo sum, or the like, acknowledged by all philosophers, we have made a discovery as satisfactory in its way as is acceptance of the complex system of philosophy offered by Plato or Descartes.
