Excerpt from Elements of Logic: Designed as a Manual of InstructionIn the present edition the author has availed himself of the voluminous and exhaustive treatise of Sir William Hamilton, in which, together with the expression of his peculiar views and criticisms, some of which may be dis sented from, the functions and the history of Logic have been set forth with great acuteness and erudition. This has led the author to slight modifications of the system of Whately, but none that will affect the general import ance and soundness of his views. The numerous more recent treatises on the science have also been examined.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
