The Elements Of Logick by William Duncan is an 18th-century treatise in four books that explores the aims, method, and structure of logical inquiry. Duncan presents the four operations of the mind—Perception, Judgment, Reasoning, and Disposition—and divides logic into its four essential parts: the origins of ideas from sensation and reflection; analysis of simple and complex ideas (substances, properties, and abstract notions); the theory of language, signs, and definitions; and the classification of propositions and syllogisms. He examines self-evident and demonstrable propositions, rules for inference, and various forms of syllogisms, along with methods of invention and science. This text situates logic within a broader epistemological framework, balancing intuitive knowledge with empirical methods, while emphasizing the importance of notation, definitions, and the communicability of ideas. The London edition printed in 1752 (third edition) reflects its historical significance as a foundational manual on logic.
