Method is the art of disposing a train of arguments in a proper order , to investigate either the truth or falsity of a proposition , or to demonstrate it to others when it has been found out . This is either Analytical or Synthetical .

Therefore , when any truth has been discovered by the Analytic method , it may be demonstrated by reversing the process or by Synthesis : and in the solution of geometrical propositions , it is very instructive to carry through both the ...
