Open passage
Another form of the syllogism in Barbara is given in *10·3. The two forms, formerly wrongly identified, were first distinguished by Peano and Frege.
Open passage
This is *9·21. In the alternative method, the proof is as follows.
Open passage
This is *9·22. In the alternative method, the proof is as follows.
Open passage
This is an extension of the principle of composition.
Open passage
This is the second form of the syllogism in Barbara.
Open passage

Open passage
The above two propositions show that formal implication and formal equivalence are transitive relations between functions.
Open passage
The above two propositions are extensions of the principle of the factor.
Open passage
This proposition shows that formal equivalence is symmetrical.
Open passage
This follows immediately from *9·05·01 and *1·01. In the alternative method, the proof is as follows.
