Excerpt from Foundations of Formal Logic
The writer has again to express his indebtedness to Professor Singer for his introduction to the method which is here employed. This indebtedness is to be referred not only to the Syllabus of his lectures (reprinted pp. 46-52 in the writer's Letters on Logic) but also to many hints thrown out in private discussion.

The book concludes with a discussion of the calculus of propositions, offering fresh insights into propositional logic and the future of logical theory.
