Excerpt from Every-Day Reasoning: Or the Science of Inductive Logic

His work is offered to teacher's as an aid in setting before their pupils the principles of Inductive Logic. As our reasoning is inductive rather than deductive in daily life, it is important that the young should know at least the methods and tests. No great claim to originality is made, as no effort was put forth to attain it. Everything within reach has been examined, in order to gain additional light; and much that was desirable was left out, in order to keep the book within such bounds that it could be easily mastered by average students in a single session, Some important matters, and some especially clear illustrations, have been repeated ln different connections, in the belief that repetition aided the memory. The design in preparing the work was not merely to offer a text-book to schools, but also to pro vide a convenient manual for men and women in their pro fessional and daily life, wherein they might find suggestions for making their experiments, reaching their conclusions, and testing the correctness of the same. Under the title every-day reasoning, an outline of the tliought has been very frequently delivered as a lecture; and the favor-n able reception accorded to the subject in that form has led. To the hope that greater usefulness would be attained by its publication in this form. Of course, the difference of cir cumstance and aim will account for the difference of style.
