An Introduction To Logick, Scholastick And Rational by Edward Bentham. This early modern primer revives the scholastic tradition of reasoning for modern students, offering a concise course in logic aimed at novices. The work explains the nature of mind, perception, language, and the acts of thinking, then progresses to formal methods of inference. It is organized into a two-part structure with an extended Introduction: Part I discusses the soul, its powers and operations; Part II surveys propositions, their kinds, and the foundations of judgment; subsequent sections cover division, predication, universals, and the diff erent kinds of evidence and certainty. The text culminates with the study of syllogisms, their figures and modes, and the rules that govern deduction, accompanied by specimens from Cicero and references to Aristotle, Butler, Locke, and Wilkins. The compiler seeks to restore the practical value of old logic for younger scholars, providing definitions, tables, and examples to cultivate clear reasoning and the grammar of reason.
