Single Relations Between Thoughts. 
31 
The connective “ too ” is, for the most part, also confined 
to partial reinstatement of this sort. As full reins later, it 
retires somewhat from the initial position; e. g. “ He is 
poor. His wife, too, is extravagant. ” 
The other connectives of this class seem to require no com¬ 
ment. 
CLASS II. RELATIONS OP SIMILARITY AND DISSIMILARITY. 
(a) Similarity , employing the connectives likewise, in like 
MANNER, SIMILARLY. 
For example, "Fire melts lead. Similarly, the sun melts 
snow. ” That is, the second phenomenon stands to the first in 
the relation of like to like. Here occur again the reinstatement 
of previous thought, and the naming of the reverse relation be¬ 
tween two thoughts. Reinstated thought and relation combine 
to form an adjunct of the last thought, but are put as ad¬ 
junct to verb of last sentence, i. e., as adverb. 
"Likewise” has for the most part almost, if not altogether, 
lost this original power of naming the relation of similarity, 
being almost synonymous with "and” or even "also.” 
Of this class examples also occur in which reinstatement is 
only partial, the reinstative word in such cases not being re¬ 
garded as a thought-connective; e. g. " He dined in full uni¬ 
form. In like manner (i. e. in full uniform) he appeared at 
the ball. ” 
(b) Dissimilarity , employing the connectives contrariwise, 
on the contrary, on the other hand. These are mere oppo¬ 
sites of the preceding, and require no discussion. 
It may be noted that the relations of class II are much con¬ 
fused with those of class I, and for a very natural reason. Things 
that are like are easily grouped. And things that are grouped 
are apt to be conceived as more or less like. The difference be¬ 
tween the relations is then merely one of view-point; and pas 
sage from one to the other is extremely easy. The relations o f 
the first class emphasize group-existence, secondarily conceived 
as concordant, discordant or neutral. The relations of the sec¬ 
ond class emphasize similarity or dissimilarity, which may be 
further used in determining group-formation
