“Mr. Jordan’s book will probably interest even the casual reader, but it will be of special value to the student for the sake of its elaborate bibliography. So far as we have been able to apply a test, no important work, either in English or a foreign language, has been overlooked.”

Joseph, H. W. B. Introduction to logic. *$3.15. Oxford.
A restatement of the traditional doctrine “which is used at the universities as an instrument of intellectual discipline.” (Lond. Times.) “Mr. Joseph has interesting remarks to make on the relation between mathematics and logic, and a good statement of the doctrine that the principle of syllogistic inference cannot be made into the premise of a particular syllogism without begging the question. His chapter entitled ‘The presuppositions of inductive reasoning: the law of causation’ is a model of clear and forcible reasoning. Mill’s four methods, he finds, may be reduced to one ‘method of experimental inquiry.’” (Nature.)
“A thoughtful and scholarly treatise, conceived on the lines of a good text-book.”
