Excerpt from Picture Logic: An Attempt to Popularise the Science of Reasoning by the Combination of Humorous Pictures With Examples of Reasoning Taken From Daily Life
It was at the beginning of a certain Long Vacation when my father sent for me and delivered himself of the following remarks: 'My son, your scores at cricket, your racquets, your prowess in the hunting-field and in your college steeple-chases, your numberless invitations and popularity, to you doubtless appear all that can be desired; to me. Sir, they are nothing - nay more - they are even positively harmful, seeing that by their fascinating brightness men are blinded to all sense of their true interests and aim - viz., to secure their degree as soon as possible with a view to a start in life.'
