ABSTRACT
Of every logical analysis—of every system of logical divisions—the subject is a logical whole. But, any such logical analysis, nowhere could itever have had a subject, but for that system of primeval logical analysis, which has had for its subjects physical wholes, and for its results those ideas which, at thevery moment of their conception, were respectively accompanied and fixed by so many names or denominations :—signs, by means of which, in so far as those signs were the sortof names called common names, those ideas were, as it were, tied up into bundles, called sorts, kinds, species, genera, classes, and the like : the connexion being effected byanother sort of logical instrument, which, as will be seen, is not analysis, but its converse, synthesis.
