This fixes a great gulf between Induction and Deduction.
It is quite true that we may describe the general conditions of a
valid quantitative induction, and may convince ourselves that if the
sample be drawn strictly at random from among the Ss and be made
sufficiently numerous, then, the general conditions remaining unchanged,
it necessarily follows that future experience, under the same general
conditions, will, must on the average, of an indefinite multitude of such
inductions, bear out the Inductive conclusion. Still, this in no wise suffices
to reduce the quantitative induction to any kind of induction. For even
