Quote from ‘Division III. Substantial Study of Logic. Chapter VI. The Essence of Reasoning’

Term: 
Subject
Quote: 

Because every speech must contain two elements one indicative, the other symbolic, there is a logical foundation for the separation of a proposition into a subject and predicate. The subject is the part containing the indicative constituent, and from which it cannot conveniently be detached, while the predicate is the part purely symbolic.
