TEHZEEB UL MANTIK, 135 



V. The sophistical, are composed, 



1. Of vague language without specifying any pre- 

 cise object, such as the vague expression " The 

 person to whom we allude." 



2. Quibbles, which, though absolutely false, ex- 

 hibit some appearance of truth ; as if I should 

 say, that •' the figure of the horse which is 

 painted on the wall is a horse ;" that " everv 

 horse neighs ;" and, consequently, that " the fi- 

 gure on the wall must also neigh."
