Excerpt from A Treatise on Logic, Pure and Applied Little more will be expected from a work of the following description, than that it should contain an intelligible and concise exposition of those facts and principles which form, as it were, the groundwork of logical science. Necessarily, therefore, it must be, for the most part, a complication of such views as have obtained general acceptance, and can lay but little claim to any high degree of originality. At the same time, I may be permitted to state that some feature exist which serve to distinguish this Treatise from its numerous predecessors, and which will, I hope, prove of service to the student by inciting him to examine for himself such theories and principles as come under his notice.
