Footnotes.
1 – NOTE. Sometimes thinking and thought are used
interchangeably. This is confusing. Properly, “thinking”
is always a process of the knowing mind while “thought”
is the product of this process, just as the flour of the
gristmill is the _product_ of the grinding _process_.
2 – Intuitive knowing might be termed habitual knowing.
3 – Mediate Inference.
4 – Intuitive Knowing.
5 – Hyslop’s Elements of Logic (1901), page 100.
6 – Hyslop.
7 – Men do have the power of reason.
8 – Sometimes called contraposition.
9 – From the Greek meaning _to reason with_.
10 – The student may be sufficiently interested to complete the
list.
11 – The student should prove that the last premise may be
affirmative.
12 – This cause, however, need not be a _single_ antecedent, in
fact it seldom is. “This cause, philosophically speaking,
is the sum total of the conditions, positive and negative,
taken together.”――Mill. The cause of the price of food stuff
being high, involves many conditions, or antecedents, so
interwoven that it is impossible to designate any one as
being the chief factor concerned.
13 – Those might be named the Five Special Methods of Induction
by Analysis.
14 – All cases of finding the net proceeds are examples of the
law of residue.
Transcriber’s Notes.

Page 22:

(able to recognize each)
