The document outlines the eight rules of syllogism. It explains that there are three terms in a syllogism, with two premises relating the minor and major terms through a common middle term. The rules prohibit having more than three terms, the conclusion extending a term beyond its use in the premises, the middle term appearing in the conclusion, the middle term being particular in both premises, inconsistent conclusions based on the premises' qualities, and conclusions from two particular premises. Examples demonstrate violations of each rule.
