253 and thus causes a contingent conclusion. Secondly, (/) in order that a guarded contingency may be inferred, either the major premise must be apodeictic, as in the first figure, or, should the major be contingent, the minor must be apodeictic. When the major is apodeictic, its antecedent, after the conversion of the minor, binds the premises together, so as not to allow an unguarded conclusion; and when the minor is apodeictic, its antecedent performs the same part, after the conversion of t...hat premise with the retained-necessitant. The former case does not differ materially from that of the first figure ; the latter may be illustrated as follows : Some homicides are laudable ; All homicides are cruel ; therefore Some cruel things are laudable. Here the conclusion, as guarded, depends on the differential, converse of the minor " some cruel things are all the homi- cides. " For, this being granted, it is plain that those cruel things which are " some of the homicides " must be laudable ; in other words, that it is not an impossibility, but an absolute pos- sibility, a guarded contingency, that a cruel thing should be laudable.
