ABSTRACT
1. As we distinguished the forms of judgments which do not involve inference by the relation of their contents to the apprehension on which they are based, so we may classify inferences by the relation of conclusion to premiss. Every inference must assert a “new” fact; that is to say, one in some way distinguishable from the premisses. The different relations between premiss and conclusion will thus give us the different types of inference, and after educing these we shall have to see whether any common principle can be found running through them all, or whether there is some other way of connecting them.
