De Morgan presents an argument claiming 'all inference consists in four parentheses and two dots', followed by a knife and fork theory of the use of figure; and lastly claims that there is a form of thought which has never entered into formal logic which is neither affirmation or denial e.g. 'Though + yet = cannot'.
