Excerpt from A Digest of Deductive Logic for the Use of Students This book does not pretend to be a treatise. It is a note book, intended to be used side by side with the ordinary Manual. My indebtedness to the ordinary Manual, as may be supposed, is considerable, for in large part these notes are little more than a summary of what any ordinary manual will contain: to summarise, however, was my main purpose. The book is designed, as stated in the title, for students preparing for examination. It offers them, firstly, an outline of that portion of the subject which the text book treats in full; and, secondly, it provides a somewhat fuller discussion of points that are apt to be overlooked or omitted. It has been my aim throughout to bring into the relief of bare outline the essentials of deduction, and to elucidate obscurities. This book, then, differs from other works in being condensed where they are full, and in being supplementary where they are condensed, and thus it may claim a certain sort of freshness of treatment.
