Excerpt from The Principles of Argument N azure and Requirements of Proo]. - Some law or prin ciple, whether expressed or not, lies at the foundation of every valid argument, inductive as well as deductive, and proof essentially consists in bringing the proposition to be proved within an accepted law or principle. We assume the existence, says Mr. Alfred Sidgwick, oi uniformities in nature - natural laws; the narrowing down of these into exactitude being the endless problem of discovery, and the completest knowledge of them already attained at any period being, for that period, the basis of all explanation, prediction, and proof.
