A resemblance of relations ;

because it is to the mind what light is to the eye ,
enabling it to discover things before hidden .

or one thing has an analogy to or with another .
[

Note :
Analogy is very commonly used to denote similarity or essential resemblance ;
but its specific meaning is a similarity of relations ,
and in this consists the difference between the argument from example and that from analogy .
In the former ,
we argue from the mere similarity of two things ;
in the latter ,
from the similarity of their relations . --
Karslake .
