Excerpt from First Notions of Logic: Preparatory to the Study of Geometry
This Tract contains no more than the author has found, from experience, to be much wanted by students who are commencing with Euclid. It will ultimately form an Appendix to his Treatise on Arithmetic.
The author would not, by any means, in presenting the minimum necessary for a particular purpose, be held to imply that he has given enough of the subject for all the ends of education. He has long regretted the neglect of logic; a science, the study of which would shew many of its opponents that the light esteem in which they hold it arises from those habits of inference which thrive best in its absence. He strongly recommends any student to whom this tract may be the first introduction of the subject, to pursue it to a much greater extent.
