Note Footnote 3: — Chapter I

To ask, as is sometimes done, whether Proper names are connotative or denotative, is merely a confusion of language. The distinction between connotation and denotation, extension and intension, applies only to general names. Unless a name is general, it has neither extension nor intension:3 a Proper or Singular name is essentially the opposite of a general name and has neither the one nor the other.
