THREE: His [Aristotles] theory of syllogism is simply an explicit statement of the fact that all knowledge, all thought, rests on universal truths or general propositionsthat all knowledge, whether deductive or inductive, is arrived at by the aid, the indispensable aid, of general propositions. We in England have been almost charmed into the belief that reasoning is perpetually from particular to particular, and a village matron and her Lucy have been used to express the truth for us in the concrete form adapted to our weaker comprehension (Mills Logic, bk. ii. ch. 3). We shall next be told, forsooth, that oxygen and hydrogen do not enter into the composition of water, because our village matron perpetually drinks it without passing through either element, and the analysis of the chemist will be proved as great a fiction as the analysis of the logician. Aristotle has supplied the links which at once upset all such superficial389 analysis.
