Excerpt from Elements of Logic: On the Basis of Lectures by William Barron, With Large Supplementary Additions

Some people imagine that Logic is a frivolous, an os tentations, at best an unnecessary art, which may serve to puzzle and perplex, but can be of little utility in business or philosophy. Others are perhaps Of Opinion, though it were more useful than it is, yet it requires a study so dry and uninteresting, so abstract and difficult, that few inquirers have patience to make any progress in it, or to convert it to any advantage.

Excerpt from Elements of Logic: On the Basis of Lectures by William Barron, With Large Supplementary Additions

The Lectures which constitute die basis of the present work were read by the learned author, during twenty-five sessions, in the University of St. Andrews, and may consequently be presumed to have been elaborated with great care, and to be worthy of the attentive study of all who desire to become acquainted with the science and the art of Reasoning.

As the Lectures are few and concise, there seemed to be occasion, in fitting them the better for a text-book in schools, or even for private perusal, to supplement them occasionally, from the works of distinguished writers on Logic, on points where, for practical utility, a more, full discussion of the subject is needed; and also to introduce various important topics upon which Professor Barron had neglected to offer observations. As stated in the title-page, the works to which the compiler has had recourse for this purpose, are, chiefly, those of Dr. Isaac Watts, Dr. Abercrombie, Archbishop Whately, Dr. Thomas Brown, John Stuart Mills, and William Thomson. The contributions gained from these standard sources will be found at least equal in value, and nearly also in amount, to the Lectures. It is hoped, therefore, that a work has thus been constructed which will be found to possess some advantages over the text-books now most generally used.
