Excerpt from Elements of Deductive Logic
This treatise is designed as a text-book for undergraduates. It comprises the body of approved logical doctrine, so that in a limited time a student may acquire a rounded knowledge of the fundamental forms of thought, be profited by the excellent discipline of the study, and prepared for the pursuit of philosophical sciences.
Those who wish to go beyond the elements of logic will find much additional matter in my larger work, entitled "The Theory of Thought," designed especially for universities. In my "Elements of Psychology" are explained the relation of the idea as a mental image to the notion as a product of thought, and the various mental processes involved in thinking. In both works many references will be found to authorities and to the literature of the subject.
In the preparation of the present text, I have tried to be clear, simple, and true, and to mitigate the natural severity of the subject by copious illustration.

The author takes a deep dive into the necessary forms of thought, uncovering the laws that govern how we reason and understand the world.

Throughout the text, the author explores the relationship between concepts, marks, and their intension and extension, offering a comprehensive understanding of how ideas are formed and related to each other. The book also covers the process of logical division, how we classify and categorize our thoughts, and the importance of clear and distinct concepts for sound reasoning.
