About this Item

Softcover without dust jacket. Cover showing some wear to edges, corners and head and tail of spine. Spine tight and intact. Pages yellowing with age but clean and very readable. Spine cracked between 144-145 but all intact.

This book was intended to cover the advances made in the study of logic in the first half of the nineteenth century, during which time the author felt there to have been greater advances made than in the whole of the preceding period from the time of Aristotle. Advances which, in her eyes, were not present in contemporary text books. As such, this book offers a valuable insight into the progress of the subject, tracing this frenetic period in its development with a first-hand awareness of its documentary value. Robert S. Cohen, Boston University writes " It is that precious rarity among technical works, a text which one can read and understand without a teacher.".
