Hep) Zwwv, have parts which are neither specifically the same with those of other animals, nor generically the same, with mere difference of quantity, excess or defect, but are merely accordant, or the same in the relation of analogy :as the bone is by analogy the same with the cartilaginous spine of the acanthus, (probably the thornback.) the nail with the hoof, (as of a horse,) the hand with the claw, (as of a bird,) the scale with the feather: for the feather in the bird agrees analogically in its relation, though not in appearance, with the scale of the fish. An author, whose writings afford the best key and clue to A ristotle, to logic, and to nature, thus defines analogy: Strictly speaking, analogy ought to be distinguished from direct resemblance, with which it is often confounded, in the language of even eminent writers, (especially on chemistry and natural history,) in the present day. Analogy being a resemblance of ratios, A oym ofxoioTY ig, (A ristotle,) that should strictly be called an argument from analogy in which the two things, viz. the one from which, and the one to which we argue, are not in themselves alike, but stand in similar relations to some other things :or, in other words, when the common genus, under which they both fall, consists in a relation. Thus an egg and a seed are not in themselves alike, but bear a like relation to the parent bird and to her future nestling, on the one hand, and to the old and young plant, on the other, respectively.
