Quote from ‘Suggestions for a Course of Entretiens leading up through Philosophy to the Questions of Spiritualism, Ghosts, and finally to that of Religion’

Quote:
The third kind of reasoning may fairly be called Induction, although it does not agree precisely with any one of the meanings attributed to this word. I apply it to any method of inquiry which is justified as a provisional result of a method which in the long run must lead to the truth. But such justification has several grades.
