 JMC : Elements of Logic / by Cardinal Mercier

61. Exclusive Syllogism. -- This type has both premises exclusive. E. g.: Only a spiritual being is free. Man alone is spiritual. Therefore he alone is free.

This syllogism may be broken up into two others, one affirmative, the other negative: A spiritual being is free. Man is spiritual. Therefore he is free. -- A free being is spiritual. Beings other than man are not spiritual. Therefore they are not free.
