Excerpt from Exercises in Logic: Designed for the Use of Students in Colleges
The following little work makes no preten sions to any other originality than that of plan. It has been prepared under the conviction, elsewhere expressed by the author, that a practical skill in logic can only be attained by a practical acquaintance with its rules, and that the means of a more progressive application of these, than has yet been furnished in works on the subject, was still a desideratum.
