A Manual of Logic, Deductive and Inductive

A Manual Of Logic, Deductive And Inductive by H. H. Munro. This volume presents a practical, introductory account of classical logic, designed for tyros, emphasizing simplicity over abstract symbolism. Munro surveys the threefold division of the ancient mind—simple apprehension, judgment, and reasoning—along with the terminology of terms, syncategorematic forms, and decomplex terms. It proceeds to abstraction and generalisation, the predicables (genus, species, differentia, proprium, accidens), the five predicables, and the Porphyrian Tree; then extension and comprehension, definition, division, distribution of terms, and the modes of proposition (categorical, modal). The work continues with the theory of syllogism, reduction, enthymeme, epicheirema, sorites, the example, fallacies, induction, and the nature of the dialectic exemplified by classical authorities. The Preface notes a pedagogy aimed at a beginner, eschewing symbols in favor of accessible illustrations, to facilitate early acquaintance with logic.
