other person, on terms and conditions similar 
to those of the original grant: a continued 
chain of successive dependencies was thus es- 
tablished, connecting each stipendiary, or vas- 
sal as he was termed, with his immediate supe- 
rior or lord. H. Stephen. See Statute of Quia

5. Ingram., that of which anything is affirmed; 
the nominative of a verb, without or with modi- 
fiers ; the member or part of a sentence signi- 
fying that of which predication is made. A sub- 
ject may be simple or compound; it may be a noun, or 
anything used with the value of a noun, whether word or 
phrase or clause : thus, that he has gone is true. A logical 
subject is one having the character of a subject according 
to the true meaning of the sentence; a grammatical sub- 
ject is one having that character formally only : thus, in it 
is good to be here, it is the grammatical and to be here is the 
logical subject 
6. In logic, that term of a proposition of which 
the other is affirmed or denied. Thus, in the propo- 
sition " Plato was a philosopher," Plato is the logical sub- 
ject, philosopher being its predicate, or that which is 
affirmed of the subject. Also, in the proposition "No 
man living on earth can be completely happy," man living 
on earth is the subject, and completely happy is the predi- 
cate, or that which is denied of the subject. 
7. In metaph.: (a) A real thing to which given 
characters relate and in which they are said to 
inhere. 
That which manifests its qualities in other words, that 
in which the appearing causes inhere, that to which they 
belong is called their subject, or substance, or substra- 
tum. Sir W. Hamilton, Metaphysics, viii. 
(6) In Kantian and modern philosophy, the self 
or ego to which in all thought all mental repre- 
sentations are attributed (according to Kant) ; 
also, a real (hypothetical) thing in which mental 
phenomena are supposed to inhere. The word is 
commonly used by those psychologists who teach that the 
immediate consciousness of self (the subject) is an aspect 
or inseparable accompaniment of an immediate perception 
of an external object. The doctrine is that perception in- 
volves a sense of action and reaction (self and not-self). 
To this is often joined another pioposition, that there is 
no mode of consciousness in which the opposition of sub- 
ject and object does not appear. [Expressions very close 
to this meaning are to be found in pre-Eantian writers 
(see Leibnitz, Remarques sur le livre de M. King. 8 20), but 
the word is in such passages used relatively, as in def. 6.)
