The data from which we start in our de- ductions, reasonings, or demonstrations (for all these terms may be employed indiscri- minately) are the results of induction, whether those results be so simple and obvious as to be often regarded as intuitive truths, or so com- plex and removed from ordinary apprehension a...s that their discovery should have been uni- versally considered as epochs in the progress of mankind. These data, in their various forms, are admissions of the existence of objects as they are made known to us through Digitized byLjOOQlC 76 DEDUCTION. . our senses, of their qualities, quantities, and relations, couched in the form sometimes of postulates and axioms, at other times of general laws. As by inductive methods we certify these data to ourselves, so by deductive me- thods we realize' to ourselves all the subor- dinate truths or laws which are involved in them ; and which truths, on account of the methods by which they are obtained, have been termed necessary truths: although it must be obvious that no derivative truth can have any certainty in it, greater than that which is contained in the truth from which it is derived.
