Excerpt from The Philosophical Review, Vol. 5: 1896
However at variance logicians may be on other points, there are certain fundamental tenets on which, for the most part, they tacitly at least agree. Whether they announce their subject as the Organon of Discovery, or as the Grammar of Assent, they are at one in the belief that it may be of service at some stage in the ascertainment of truth. To whatever extent they may carry their absorption in grammatical detail, however prone they may be to imply that truth is a bright emanation from the parts of speech, and was materially affected at the Tower of Babel by the Confusion of Tongues, they admit (when they are put to it) that it is justness of representation - precision in the correspondence between a state of mind and the original of which it is a forecast or a copy.
