[Footnote 478: _I.e._, one which requires no determining fact or mark, such as the three objected arguments required in § 137.] [Footnote 479: The disputant says, "Fire must be non-hot because it is artificial." "Well," you rejoin, "then it must only be an artificiality which is always found elsewhere than in fire,--_i.e._, one which will not answer your purpose in trying to prove your point." Here the proposed _upádhi_ "the being always found elsewhere than in fire" answers to the definition, as it does not always accompany the _hetu_ "possessing artificiality," but it does always accompany the _sádhya_ "non-hot," as fire is proved by sense-evidence to be hot.] [Footnote 480: As in the argument, "The earth, &c., must have had a maker because they have the nature of effects," where the Theist disputes the Atheistic condition "the being produced by one possessing a body." See Kusumáñjali, v. 2.] [Footnote 481: In fact, it would abolish all disputation at the outset, as each party would produce a condition which from his own point of view would reduce his opponent to silence. In other words, a true condition must be consistent with _either_ party's opinions.] THE END. * * * * * TRÜBNER'S ORIENTAL SERIES. "A knowledge of the commonplace, at least, of Oriental literature, philosophy, and religion is as necessary to the general reader of the present day as an acquaintance with the Latin and Greek classics was a generation or so ago. Immense strides have been made within the present century in these branches of learning; Sanskrit has been brought within the range of accurate philology, and its invaluable ancient literature thoroughly investigated; the language and sacred books of the Zoroastrians have been laid bare; Egyptian, Assyrian, and other records of the remote past have been deciphered, and a group of scholars speak of still more recondite Accadian and Hittite monuments; but the results of all the scholarship that has been devoted to these subjects have been almost inaccessible to the public because they were contained for the most part in learned or expensive works, or scattered throughout the numbers of scientific periodicals. Messrs. Trübner & Co., in a spirit of enterprise which does them infinite credit, have determined to supply the constantly-increasing want, and to give in a popular, or, at least, a comprehensive form, all this mass of knowledge to the world."--_Times._ * * * * * Second Edition, post 8vo, pp. xxxii.-748, with Map, cloth, price 21s.
