isDKE an^ Loire, one of the nine departments of the 

 weftern region of France, formerly Tourraine, in N. lat. 

 ■47- 10', fo called from the union of the two rivers : bounded 

 •on the N. by the department of the Sarte, on the E. by 

 the departments of the Loire and Cher ard the Indre, on 

 the S. and S.W. by the department of the Vicnne, and on 

 the W. and N W. by the department of the Mayne and 

 Loire ; about 50 miles from N. to S., and 45 from E. to W. 

 Its capital is Tours. It contains 325 fquare leagues, 

 and 278,73;S inhabitants. It is divided into three diftritts, 

 tj'i. Tours, including 1 28, 6j^ inhabitants; Loches, 57,094; 

 and Chinon, 93,029. Its cantons are 24, and communes 

 jii. Its annual contributions amount to 2, S6S, 779 francs, 

 and its expences to 246,653 francs. This department, 0:1 

 account of its fertihty, has been llyled the garden of France. 

 The vallies and eminences near the borders of the large 

 rivetj are fertile, but at fome diftance are heaths and un- 

 cultivated tracts. The diflridl lying between the Loire 

 and the Cher is of a light and fandy, but produftivc foil. 

 The peninfula formed by the Indre, the Loire, and the Vi- 

 cnne, is noted for its fertility. A traft, called Brenne, is 

 moill, but tolerably fruitful. The principal products are 

 rye, barley, millet, wine, fruits, and pallures. It has mines 

 of iron, and mineral fprings. 



INDU, a name of the moon among Hindoo mytho- 

 logills. This luminary is more commonly called Chandra, 

 or Soma. (See SoM.\.) It has been furmifed that the 

 name India and Hindoo, words unknown in the ancient lan- 

 guage of the country, may have been derived from Indu ; 

 but fir William Jones and iSIr. Wilkins difcountenance fucli 

 an etymology. See Moor's Hindoo Infanticide, p. 171. 



INDUCEMENT, in La'-u; is what is alleged as a mo- 

 tive or incitement to a thing ; and it is ufed fpecially in 

 feveral cafes : -Jz. there is inducement to aftions, to a 

 traverfe in pleading, a faft or offence committed, &c. In- 

 ducements to ailions need not have fo much certainty as in 

 other cafes : a general indebitalus is not fufficient, where it is 

 the ground of the aftion ; but where it is only the induce- 

 ment to the adtion, as in confideration of forbearing a debt 

 until fuch a day; (for that the parties are agreed upon the 

 tlebt) this being but a collateral promife, is good without 

 fliewing how due. 



INDUCIARUM Petitio. See Petitio, and Empar- 



L.W-tK. 



INDUCTION, in Logic and Rhetoric, a confequence 

 drawn from feveral pro^ofitions, or principles, firlt laid 

 down. 



Thus the conclufion of a fyl!ogifm, is an induftion made 

 from the prcmifes. See Syli-ogism. 



IxDUCTioN is alfo ufed for a kind of fyllogifm itfelf ; 

 being a medium between an enthymeme and a gradation, in 

 regard it wants a propofition (which, however, is under- 

 ftood,) as in the enthymeme ; and abounds in affumptions 

 (which yet are collateral, or of the fame degree), which is 

 the cale in. a gradation. 



For inilancc ; every terreftrial animal lives, every aerial 

 animal lives, every aquatic animal lives, and every reptile 

 animal alio lives ; therefore every animal lives.

Here, it may be obferved, arc various alTumptions, fro.-n 

 the more general fpccies of the animal kind collefted into 

 one ; which this propofition is fuppofed to precede ; e. gr. 

 that every animal is cither terrcllrial, aerial, aquatic, or 

 reptile. 



Suidas reckons three kinds of induftion : that juft men- 

 tioned, which concludes or infers fome general propofition 

 from an enumeration of all the particulars of a kind, he calls 

 the diiilcclic induction. 



The fccond proceeds by interrogation, and concludes 

 probably, or with a verifimihtnde ; this is what the Greeks 

 called ■:^r(xyj;-o, and was that which Socrates ordinarilv 

 niade ufe of, as Cicero, in his Topics, and Quint ilian havc 

 obferved: and, therefore, called the Socratic induftion. 

 This, however, is a captious way of reafoning : for while 

 tlie refpondent is not aware of what is defigned to be in- 

 ferred, he is eafily induced to make thofe conceffions, which 

 othcrwife he would not. Befides, it is not fo well fuited t-* 

 continued as to interlocutory difcourfes. 



The third kind oi indudtion is properly rhetorical ; beinj 

 a conclufion drawn from fome example, or authority. 



Tliis is a very impcrfeiSl induftion, all its force lying in a 

 propofition wliicii is concealed, and which will hardly bear 

 being exprefled. Tiuis, he that fays, Codrus died bravely 

 for his country, therefore I mull die bravely for niv 

 country ; proves nothing, unlefs this propofition be carried 

 in mind, that I muit do the fame with Codru.'. Again, 

 Archimedes, and the other mathematicians, fay, the fun is 

 much bigger than the earth ; therefore, it mull be owned, 

 the fun is much bigger than the earth. Where this pro- 

 pofition is underftood, luz. whatever Archimedes, and the 

 other mathematicians, fay, is true. 



Induction is one of the four forms of reafoning ufed by- 

 orators in confirmation ; the other three are fyllogifm, en- 

 thymeme, and example, which lad coincides with the third 

 fpecies of induction above enumerated. 



_ Induction-, in the Englijh Laws, is ufually taken for the 

 giving poiTeflion to an incumbent of Iiis church, by lead- 

 ing him into it, and delivering to him the keys, by the com- 

 miflary, or bidiop's deputy, and by his ringing op.e of the 

 bells. 



When a clerk is inflituted into a benefice, he is to ex- 

 hibit his mandate from the bifliop to the archdeacon, or 

 other perfon to whom it is directed, and hath a right tliercby 

 to be indufted into his living ; and if he be refufed induc- 

 tion, he hath a remedy both in the eccleliallical court, 

 and alfo an a£lion of the cafe in common law, againft the 

 archdeacon. If the inductor, or perfon to be inducted, 

 be kept out of the church, or houfe, by laymen, the writ 

 de 111 lalca lies for the clerk, wliich is directed sut of the 

 chancery to the flieriff of the county, to remove the force, 

 &c. if another clergyman, prefented by the fame patron, 

 keep pofleflion, a fpoliation is grantable out of the fpiritual 

 court, whereby the tithes, &c. fliall be fequeftcred, till the 

 right be determined. ■ 



The archdeacon rarely indu£ts a clerk in perfon, but 

 ufually ifTues out a warrant to the clerks and lettered perfons 

 w-ithin the archdeaconry, impowering any of them to do it 

 in his (lead. 



An induction made by the patron of the church is void ; 

 but bifiiops and archdeacons may induft a clerk to the bene- 

 fices of which they are patrons, by prcfcription. No induc- 

 tion is neceflary to a donative, where the patron, by donation 

 in writing, puts the clerk in pufTcnion wiiiiout prefentation.
