is the principal mathematical conception
and the most in need of explanation
while its logical importance is far greater
than is everything else put together that I
could bring into the first six lectures. But
there was no possibility of crowding it
into this course. In the sixth lecture I was
only able to make a few detached remarks
concerning statistical deductions.
This leaves us but two hours in which to
treat of the most important kinds of
reasoning Induction and Abduction. Deduction
is of small account beside these
