This a particular kind of comparison by which one subject is discussed according to terms which apply to the other.

An analogy is seen to be essentially an expression of relationship between two different things, but between two things which have more than one likeness.

There is a wide range of analogies in length, from simple illustration to a long sustained development; in content, from a subject close to the one to be explained to the greatly different, in application from only a relationship or two, to a detailed point by point comparison. But whatever its size, its nature, or its nature or its use, the analogy has as its purpose, clearness and its value as a clarifying device makes it worthy of study.
