Note 4 — II. FIRST PRINCIPLES. A. — Sir William Hamilton on Aristotle’s Doctrine.

Analyt. Poster. I. iii. p. 72, a. 17: τοῦτο γὰρ μάλιστ’ ἐπὶ τοῖς τοιούτοις εἰώθαμεν ὄνομα λέγειν — “we are for the most part accustomed:” Hamilton has not translated the word μάλιστα, which it would have been better for him to do, because he founds upon the passage an argument to prove that Aristotle limited in a certain way the sense of the word Axiom.
