“Points on which he lays considerable stress, and in which he does not command the uniform assent of the other symbolic logicians, are these:—(a) that he takes statements and not terms to be in all cases and necessarily the ultimate constituents of symbolic reasoning; (b) that he goes quite beyond the ordinary notation of the symbolists in classifying propositions according to such attributes as true, false, certain, impossible, variable; (c) that in regard to the existential import of propositions, while other symbolists define the null class O as containing no members, and understand it as contained in every class, real or unreal, he, on the other hand, defines it as consisting of the null or unreal members, O1, O2, O3, &c., and considers it to be excluded from every real class. A chapter is devoted to the solution of Prof. Jevon’s so-called inverse problem.”—Nature.
