Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Letters on Logic to a Young Man Without a Master
I shall make no apology for the changes, which have been introduced into the text. They invariably involve the sacrifice of a proper or methodical arrangement in order to gaina peda gogical advantage. And, finally, in fairness to Professor Singer it must be understood that the chapters of the book bear no direct relation to his own formal lectures. They have been suggested by the outline alone. The comparative brevity of the work is explained by the nature of my task. It would have been risking too much to introduce historical comments of my own or to venture upon questions of application, when my purpose is only to furnish an approach in popular form to a very original contribution to logical theory. Those who use the book in the class room will be able to remedy this defect in their own way. The syllabus itself will be found indispensable for those who intend to pursue the theory still further; in particular, for those who desire to express the whole in the more elegant form of a symbolic technique.
