Thus he hedged himself from a not impossible disclaimer by the agent at the mines.英文原著 · 《Old Friends》

which is thus explained: The notion man comprehends in it the notion responsible agent; but the notion responsible agent comprehends in it the notion free agent; therefore, on the principle that a part of a part is a part of a whole, the notion man also comprehends in it the notion free agent.英文原著 · 《The Scottish Philosophy》
