Note 323 — Chapter I
Reading edition
Compare with the above the following syllogism which has two singular premisses:—The Lord Chancellor receives a higher salary than the Prime Minister; Lord Herschell is the Lord Chancellor; therefore, Lord Herschell receives a higher salary than the Prime Minister. These premisses would presumably be compounded by Bain into the single proposition, “The Lord Chancellor, Lord Herschell, receives a higher salary than the Prime Minister.”
