Riassunto

PREFACE
IN preparing these C Studies' I have tried to carry forward
the chief purpose of my Elementary Lessons in Logic, which
purpose was the promotion of practical training in Logic.
In the preface to those Lessons I said in 1870: ' The
relations of propositions and the forms of argument present
~s precise a subject of instruction and as vigorous an exercise
of thought, as the properties of geometrical figures or
the rules of Algebra. Yet every schoolboy is nl:lde to learn
mathematical problems which he will never employ in after
life, and is left in total ignorance of those simple principles
:lnd forms of reasoning which will enter into the thoughts of
every hour. . . . In my own cJasscs I have constantly
found that the working ~nd solution of logical questions,
the ex:ullinatiun of arguments and the detection of faJlacies,
is a !lot less pr:tclicable 3.nd useful exercise of mind than
IS the ptrformance of calculations and the sohltion of
problems in a mathematica
