Elements of logick, or, A summary of the general principles and different modes of reasoning

"The professed object of Logick is to furnish rules for the direction of the understanding in its various inquiries after knowledge. It should therefore teach the principles of every species of reasoning, which we have occasion to make use of, both in the pursuits of science, and in the ordinary transactions of life. Demonstrative reasoning can be employed only about general truths, and such relations, as are in their nature immutable. It is of little use in regulating our judgments arid conclusions concerning events, which are irregular in their occurrence, and which depend on contingent circumstances. To reason on subjects of this kind, it is necessary to understand the nature of moral evidence, and the grounds of probability. It is by moral evidence alone, that we reason on historical facts, and the casual occurrences of life. It is also this evidence, which influences our conclusions on the important and interesting subjects of government, morals, and religion. Under these impressions, the writer of this compend has pursued the following plan. The first part of the text contains a brief description of the leading faculties and operations of the mind. The second concerns the several kinds of terms and propositions. The third part comprises an explanation of moral and demonstrative evidence; of the different modes of reasoning; of sophisms; and of method, or disposition"--Book.

  • ""Most of the treatises of Logick in common use have been formed on the model of the ancient systems, and are encumbered with many scholastic subtlities and unimportant distinctions. The instructions, which they furnish on the subject of rationation, consist of very little more than a description of the syllogism, and a few general principles of demonstrative reasoning. They contain no elements nor rules to assist us in reasoning on subjects of probability, or on the ordinary events of human life. The manner, in which these books are written, is ill adapted to the comprehension of young minds. In explaining the operations of reasoning, many technical terms and arbitrary forms are employed, of which the tendency is rather to embarrass and perplex, than to instruct the learner. Under these impressions, the writer of this compend has pursued the following plan. After passing through the customary distinctions of terms and propositions, he has given a brief account of moral evidence, and pointed out the circumstances which distinguish it from demonstrative. A concise view is then given of the different forms of reasoning, with the principles on which they respectively proceed"--Book. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2012 APA, all rights reserved)."
