See {Syn-},       and {Logistic}, {Logic}.] (Logic)       The regular logical form of every argument, consisting of       three propositions, of which the first two are called the       premises, and the last, the conclusion. The conclusion       necessarily follows from the premises; so that, if these are       true, the conclusion must be true, and the argument amounts       to demonstration;          Note: as in the following example: Every virtue is laudable;                Kindness is a virtue; Therefore kindness is laudable.                These propositions are denominated respectively the                major premise, the minor premise, and the conclusion.          Note: If the premises are not true and the syllogism is                regular, the reasoning is valid, and the conclusion,                whether true or false, is correctly derived.
