From the PREFACE. It is now some fifteen years since I published "An Elementary Treatise on Logic," which in its third edition is still before the public. I would not, however, have the reader regard this Book as merely a compilation, condensation, abridgement or re-arrangement of the former Work. On the contrary, it differs from it in many essential particulars. Since the time of the publication of that Treatise, my attention has been chiefly directed to the study of the Principles and Forms of reasoning, as they occur in the actual practice of men who are engaged in the various intellectual processes that are called for in the prosecution of the affairs of life, and I am able to offer here a Work, which, I think, will be found, in many respects, to be especially worthy of attention. It has been customary to regard Logic as a mere formal or instrumental science, dealing with "ideas," "notions" or "conceptions," as something intermediate between the mind that perceives and reasons, and the substantial objects which it perceives and reasons about. I have fully adopted and carried out Cousin's declaration. "If by ideas is understood something real which exists independently of language, and is intermediate between the mind and things that exist, 1 say that there are no ideas. There is nothing real, except things and the mind with its operations." I hold, therefore, that Logic deals with Things, and hot any mere fictions, under whatever name they may be designated, whether "ideas," "notions," "concepts" or whatnot. And it uses words as representing things; and sentences or propositions as representing the relations which things appear to sustain to each other. What those relations really are, is a question that belongs to a higher department of metaphysics, Ontology. This view of the nature of Logic has enabled me to simplify my discussions of the Formulae very greatly, to dispense with an immense amount of technicalities, and by constantly referring to things instead of mere "notions" about them, it has" enabled me to make the general principles and laws of reasoning much simpler and more easily comprehensible. This view of the nature of Logic and of the functions of language in relation to it has led to, and rendered possible, a much more satisfactory account of the Fallacies, especially those in Diction, than has hitherto been attained. I think I have now made a classification that has enabled me to give an account of them that is clear, complete and satisfactory....
