Quote from ‘Minute Logic: Chapter I. Intended Characters of this Treatise’

Quote: 

Arguments are of three kinds, Deduction, Induction, and what I call Abduction [—] If the facts directly asserted in the argument compell or tend to compell the fact asserted in the conclusion, so that the inference takes place by force, the argument is Deductive.
