Excerpt from System of Logic, Vol. 1 of 2: Ratiocinative and Inductive; Being a Connected View of the Principles of Evidence and the Methods of Scientific Investigation
This book makes no pretence of giving to the world a new theory of our intellectual Operations. Its claim to attention, if it possess any, is grounded on the fact that it is an attempt. Not to supersede, but to embody and systematize, the best ideas which have been either promulgated on its subject by speculative writers, or conformed to by accurate thinkers in their scientific inquiries.
