Sec. 3.
_Given a Trio of Propositions of Relation, of which every two contain a
Pair of codivisional Classes, and which are proposed as a Syllogism; to
ascertain whether the proposed Conclusion is consequent from the
proposed Premisses, and, if so, whether it is complete._
The Rules, for doing this, are as follows:--
(1) Take the proposed Premisses, and ascertain, by the process
described at p. 60, what Conclusion, if any, is consequent
from them.
(2) If there be _no_ Conclusion, say so.
(3) If there _be_ a Conclusion, compare it with the proposed
Conclusion, and pronounce accordingly.
I will now work out, in their briefest form, as models for the Reader to
imitate in working examples, six Problems.

"All soldiers are strong;
All soldiers are brave.
Some strong men are brave."
Univ. "men"; m = soldiers; x = strong; y = brave.
