Excerpt from Logick, or an Essay on the Elements, Principles, and Different Modes of Reasoning, Vol. 1
That the fcience of logick is, by its abfiraétion from fenfible objec'is, dry and habitrufe, mufi be admitted; but this inconvenience may be obviated by fubjoining particular examples, wheré necefi'ary. The difguft that attends its ftudy, is amply com penfated by its utility, in difcufiing any fubjeft, whether moral, political, theological, metaphyfical, legal, phyfical, hiliorical, critical, mathematical, or economical. For, in which ofthefe have notdifputes atifen, or do not fill] exifi, or have not mii'takes oc curred, from in attention to fome or other of the miles or obfervations, which an exact treatife of logick lhou'ld comprife; many of which may be found in thofe already extant, as that of Port Royal, Le Clerc, Dr. Watts, and Mr. Duncan; but, in all of them, fome are {till wanting. Mr. Locke's inefiimable Bfi'ay on the Human Underfianding, though it fupplies excellent materials, is far from prefcnting an exact fyfiem of logick.
