cannot avoid using it in its whole extent, if we use it at all.

253. The most usual signs of generality in a proposition are the
words 'all,' 'every,' 'each,' in affirmative, and the words 'no,'
'none,' 'not one,' &c. in negative propositions.

254. The terminology of the division of propositions according to
quantity is unsatisfactory. Not only has the indefinite proposition to
be set down as particular, even when the sense manifestly declares it
to be universal; but the proposition which is expressed in a
particular form has also to be construed as indefinite, _so_ that
an unnatural meaning is imparted to the word 'some,' as used in
logic. If in common conversation we were to say 'Some cows chew the
cud,' the person whom we were addressing would doubtless imagine us to
suppose that there were some cows which did not possess this
attribute. But in logic the word 'some' is not held to express more
than 'some at least, if not all.' Hence we find not only that an
indefinite proposition may, as a matter of fact, be strictly
particular, but that a proposition which appears to be strictly
particular may be indefinite. So a proposition expressed in precisely
the same form 'Some A is B' may be either strictly particular, if some
be taken to exclude all, or indefinite, if the word 'some' does not
exclude the possibility of the statement being true of all. It is
evident that the term 'particular' has become distorted from its
original meaning. It would naturally lead us to infer that a statement
is limited to part of the subject, whereas, by its being opposed to
universal, in the sense in which that term has been defined, it can
only mean that we have nothing to show us whether part or the whole is
spoken of.
