Elements of Logic is a classic introductory text on logic written by Richard Whately. The book covers the basics of reasoning, argumentation, and logical fallacies. It is divided into three parts: the first part covers the principles of reasoning, the second part covers the principles of argumentation, and the third part covers the principles of logical fallacies. Each part is further divided into chapters that cover specific topics such as syllogisms, induction, deduction, and the use of language in arguments. The book is written in a clear and concise style, making it accessible to both beginners and advanced students of logic. It is a valuable resource for anyone looking to improve their critical thinking and reasoning skills.1875. Whately, Archbishop of Dublin, treatise on Logic comprising the substance of the article in the Encyclopedia Metropolitana. De Morgan wrote in 1860 that Whately had restored the study of logic in England. Whateley's achievement was not so much in logic as in moral metalogic; he explained what logicians should have been doing.... Logic, said Whateley, is entirely conversant about language, and it is only as reasoning is expressed in language that logic can study it. The Contents are divided into the following four books: Analytical Outline of the Science; Sythnthetical Compendium; Of Fallacies; and Dissertation on the Province of Reasoning.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
