It does not necessarily affect the profits of the industry; it is not a deduction from resultant profits; it is an incident in the turnover. If there are hard cases and special instances, we are prepared to meet them with the closest attention and with a desire to avoid severity or anything like the appearance of harsh treatment of individuals.
"Then one may extend his argument to things of a greater importance, but taking great care to keep within the narrow limits of rudimentary logic. "One must be impregnated with this principle: "Two things equal to a third demand an affirmative judgment or decision. "In the opposite case the negative deduction is enjoined.
Further, even in deduction, though a syllogism is conclusive from its mere form, if the terms are unambiguous, yet the practical validity of the reasoning depends on the hypothesis that no counteracting cause has interfered with the truth of the premisses. We can assure ourselves of this only by studying the phenomena at every step.
It was an exhaustive scientific deduction, explaining in theory the origin of the two meteors that had fallen to earth two months before.
In answering these questions we shall follow the method of the practical scientist, whose method is invariably the same whatever the problem he is investigating. This method involves two steps: first, the collection and classification of facts; second, the deduction from those facts of general principles.
He will say, "The zebra is certainly not a horse, but it is very like one, so like, that it must be the 'ticket' or mark of a blood-circulation also; and, I conclude that the zebra has a circulation." That is a deduction, a very fair deduction, but by no means to be considered scientifically secure.
My experience, however, leads me to say that this assertion cannot be accepted without considerable deduction. The "commutation" tickets are good for a certain number of trips. The mileage tickets are books of small coupons, each of which represents a mile; the conductor tears out as many coupons as the passenger has travelled miles.
Here then at once was a large deduction from my six months' leave, not to think of the misery that awaited me for such a time, confined to my bed in an inn, without books, friends, or acquaintances.
This was happily expressed by him who had heard of a text brought for proof of the Trinity, which in an ancient manuscript was differently read; he thereupon immediately took the hint, and by a sudden deduction of a long sorites, most logically concluded; "Why, if it be as you say, I may safely whore and drink on, and defy the parson."
If you once admit fate, which is to say, the chain of links of cause and effect, astrology has a locus standi, and becomes what it was of yore, a boundless science, requiring the same faculty of deduction by which Cuvier became so great, a faculty to be exercised spontaneously, however, and not merely in nights of study in the closet.
