ABSTRACT
EVERY sentence contains distinct elements of two kinds: on the one hand, the expression of a certain number of precepts representing ideas, and on the other, the indication of certain relations existing between them. If I say the horse runs, I have two ideas in my mind, a horse and running, and I unite the two in the statement the horse runs. If I say Peter's house is large, the ideas of a house, Peter, and largeness in my mind are similarly combined in the statement which constitutes my sentence.
