Excerpt from Outlines of Logic: An English Translation of Trendelenburg''s Elementa
It is very evident that the universal proposition is supe rior to the particular; for of the two propositions, when we know the former, we are acquainted with the latter also, and know it virtually, or in potentiality. As, for instance, if a man knows that every triangle contains angles equal to two right-angles, he may be said to know that the angles of an isosceles triangle are equal to two right-angles, even if he does not know the isosceles as a form of triangle. On the other hand, a man acquainted with the particular pro position has no knowledge whatever of the universal, either virtually or actually. Again, the universal proposition is cognised by the reason, the particular by the senses.

Wherever we have truth or falsehood we must first. have concepts compounded as if they were one; for it is with the compounding and dividing of concepts that truth and falsehood are concerned. Now simple names and verbs resemble the concept where no process of compounding or dividing has taken place, e.., the concepts man or white where nothing is added to them. As yet we have neither truth nor falsehood, as we see by the fact that the concept Goat-stag has indeed a meaning, but as yet we cannot call the meaning either true or false, unless there )be added the conception of Being or Not-being with or without a notion of time. He, therefore, judges rightly who thinks of that which is divided as divided, and of that which is in composition as compounded; and he falsely, wlio holds an opposite opinion to that which the facts of the case warrant. 2. Every sentence is significant, but only that of which truth orialsehopdcan be predicated is declaratory. These cannot be predicated of all sentences, as, for instance, prayer takes the form of a sentence, but is neither true nor false. Dismissing, then, all other kinds as fitter subjects for investigation by Poetry orE hetoric, our present study concerns itself with theS entence declaratory. 3. Of terms when not used in combination, each signifies either Substance, Quantity, Quality, Relation, Place, Time, Position, State, A ction, or Passion.
