An Investigation of the Laws of Thought: On Which of Founded the Mathematical Theories of Logic (Classic Reprint)

A uthor, entitled, The Mathematical Analysis of Logic. I ts earlier portion is indeed devoted to the same object, and it begins by establishing the same system of fundamental laws, but its methods are more general, and its range of applications far wider. It exhibits the results, matured by some years of study and reflection, of a principle of investigation relating to the intellectual operations, the previous exposition of which was written within a few weeks after its idea had been conceived. That portion of this work which relates to Logic presupposes in its reader a knowledge of the most important terms of the science, as usually treated, and of its general object. On these points there is no better guide than Archbishop Whately sE lements of Logic, or Mr. Thomson sO uU ines of theL aws ofT hought. To the former of these treatises, the present re-, vival of attention to this class of studies seems in a great measure due. Some acquaintance with the principles of Algebra is also requisite, but it is not necessary that this application should have been carried beyond the solution of simple equations.
