ersons." (5) The Sign of Quantity is "no." (6) The Proposition now becomes "No | not-brave persons | are | persons deserving of the fair." (4) "A lame puppy would not say "thank you" if you offered to lend it a skipping-rope." (1) The Subject is evidently "lame puppies," and all the rest of the sentence must somehow be packed into the Predicate. (2) The Verb is "would not say," &c., for which we may substitute the phrase "are not grateful for." (3) The Predicate may be expressed as "* * * not grateful for the loan of a skipping-rope." (4) Let Univ. be "puppies." (5) The Sign of Quantity is "all." (6) The Proposition now becomes "All | lame puppies | are | puppies not grateful for the loan of a skipping-rope." pg015 (5) "No one takes in the _Times_, unless he is well-educated." (1) The Subject is evidently persons who are not well-educated ("no _one_" evidently means "no _person_"). (2) The Verb is "takes in," for which we may substitute the phrase "are persons taking in." (3) The Predicate is "persons taking in the _Times_." (4) Let Univ. be "persons." (5) The Sign of Quantity is "no." (6) The Proposition now becomes "No | persons who are not well-educated | are | persons taking in the _Times_." (6) "My carriage will meet you at the station." (1) The Subject is "my carriage." This, being an 'Individual,' is equivalent to the Class "my carriages." (Note that this Class contains only _one_ Member.) (2) The Verb is "will meet", for which we may substitute the phrase "are * * * that will meet." (3) The Predicate is "* * * that will meet you at the station." (4) Let Univ. be "things." (5) The Sign of Quantity is "all." (6) The Proposition now becomes "All | my carriages | are | things that will meet you at the station." (7) "Happy is the man who does not know what 'toothache' means!" (1) The Subject is evidently "the man &c." (Note that in this sentence, the _Predicate_ comes first.) At first sight, the Subject seems to be an '_Individual_'; but on further consideration, we see that the article "the" does _not_ imply that there is only _one_ such
