It is idle, therefore, to look to this as one of the purposes of a definition: while, if it be only required that the definition of a Kind should indicate what kinds include it or are included by it, any definitions which expound the connotation of the names will do this: for the name of each class must necessarily connote enough of its properties to fix the boundaries of the class.
The arrangement of things into classes, such as the class metal, or the class man, is grounded indeed on a resemblance among the things which are placed in the same class, but not on a mere general resemblance: the resemblance it is grounded on consists in the possession by all those things, of certain common peculiarities; and those peculiarities it is which the terms connote, and which the propositions consequently assert; not the resemblance.

Her brilliant black eyes and her eager nervous little face connote a mind as alert as Monsieur Reinach's.
He began rolling up the sleeves of his sweater. For some obscure reason possibly because his deliberation seemed to connote implacability this simple action filled her with a terror that she had not known before even in the midst of their physical struggle. "Help! Help! Help!" she screamed. She rushed across the room and threw open the door, sending her agonized appeal out into the night. "Help!
And when I say 'all Catholics' I do not mean that he talked to every individual Catholic, but that he got a good, integrative grip of the Church militant, which is all that the words connote.
The contrivance of general language furnishing us with terms which connote these conditions, we are able to assert this indefinite multitude of truths in a single expression, and this expression is the general theorem.
