Excerpt from Chapters in Logic

This little volume Is a reprint of Sir William Hamilton"s Lectures on Modified Logic, and of the most valuable portions of the famous Port Royal Logic, translated by T. S. Baynes. The design of the publication is to provide, in cheap and convenient form, a Manual or Text-Book, on what Hamilton calls "Modified or Concrete Logic," but what others have variously designated as Applied or Practical Logic.

Whatever may be thought of the propriety of including this department of study within the science of Logic, there can be no doubt of its very great importance, and just as little doubt of its having been sadly neglected. Those who have not mastered the elements of formal or technical Logic, as well as those who have, may derive immense advantage from a careful perusal of these pages.

The merits of Sir William Hamilton are so well known, that it is perhaps unnecessary here to say anything in commendation of that part of the volume which was written by him.
