This, which it is most important to recollect with respect to the simpler properties of bodies, as color and form, is no less true with respect to more compound notions. In all cases the term is fixed to a peculiar meaning by convention; and the student, in order to use the word, must be completely familiar with the convention, so that he has no need to frame conjectures from the word itself. Such conjectures would always be insecure, and often erroneous. Thus the termpapilionaceous applied to a flower is employed to indicate, not only a resemblance to a butterfly, but a resemblance arising from five petals of a certain-peculiar shape and arrangement; and even if the resemblance were much stronger than it is in such cases, yet, if it were produced in a different way, as, forexample, by one petal, or two only, instead of a standard, two ‘wings,’ and a ‘keel’ consisting of two parts more or less united into one, we should be no longer justified in speaking of it as a ‘papilionaceous’ flower. Well, she didnt say people,’ exactly,’ my mother says, sounding suddenly wary, even cagey, the way she often sounds when we’re discussing my sister. Am I a good subject? Annie asks. When we affirm that all crows are black, or that all negroes have woolly hair, we assert a uniformity of co-existence. We assert that the property of blackness or of having woolly hair invariably co-exists with the properties which, in common language, or in the scientific classification that weadopt, are taken to constitute the class crow, or the class negro. Now, supposing blackness to be an ultimate property of black objects, or woolly hair an ultimate property of the animals which possess it; supposing that these properties are not results of causation, are not connected with antecedent phenomena by any law; then if all crows are black, and all negroes have woolly hair, these must be ultimate properties of the kind crow, or negro, or of some kind which includes them. If, on the contrary, blackness or woolly hair be an effect depending on causes, these general propositions are manifestly empirical laws; and all that has already been said respecting that class of generalizations may be applied without modification to these. Not in the street, bro.Here, she says, and touches her hand to her forehead. So much traffic. It gets sonoisy, bro. The party was going nicely at eight oclock. I could hear it through the door, and I had no doubt about Joey’s neighbors hearing it through the walls. I rang the bell, and a little blonde opened the door and said: Oh, it’s tall and dark and handsome. Come in, mister tall and dark and handsome. I meant someone qualified, Maggie says. Lester saw me, waved a hand, very weakly, and she took him in tow and headed for a booth. I jerked my head at him and he stopped her and they had an argument for a moment. Lester won out. She went in the booth and he came over to the piano. Her name is Lang, Mom, Dr. Lang. Shes a respected psychiatrist at Mount... Good Lord, Rob Trenton said. You dont pay attention to anonymous letters of that sort, do you? I dont know. It’s already nine, fiveafter nine, in fact, I said, looking at my watch again. Phil. of Discovery, p. 274. The knowledge gave him a certain desperation. What did you forget? the driver asked. But we need a motive. If we can prove Trenton was smuggling dope and that Richmond was on his trail, we have a perfect motive. All you need to do is to dismiss the charges against Gentry..
