Summary:

The more especial objects in the preparation of this work are: first, to bring the study of Logic within the course of instruction commonly prescribed in our colleges and seminaries, both as to the time allotted to it and also the stage of advancement in the course; and second, to present the science in a more strictly scientific form and method than is to be found in most of the text books. The book is accordingly designed for those who are first entering upon the study of mental science, and to be mastered by them in from four to eight weeks of study, according to the proficiency of the student, the portion of time allowed, and the extent to which the practice is carried. The work is constructed on the exactest principles of logical method, being itself designed to exemplify these principles in the definitions and the scientific evolution of all the generic laws and forms of thought from its own nature. For a more extended exposition of the science and a vindication of what is new and peculiar in this more exact treatment of logic, the reader is referred to the author's larger work on the same general plan, entitled "Elements of Logic."
