"Loci 'from composition' are such as when, from the fact that it is possible that a sitting person walks, or that a non-writing person writes, one infers that it can happen that someone who is sitting is walking, or that someone who is not writing is writing."

I'm trying to recall this reference but my memory retention is not so good any more...

It's Pierre Gassendi, Syntagma Philosophicum, explicating Aristotle's Sophistical Refutations.

Thanks. I was getting it mixed up with the method of loci from rhetoric.

I don't think you're getting things mixed up. The Sophistical Refutations concern the rules of rhetoric. Anyhow I only post this stuff to shed followers who are here for the wrong reasons. I've lost two already!
