Baronet. SIR, IT is fit the public should receive through your hands what was written originally for the assistance of youir younger studies, and was then presented to you. It was by the repeatedimportunitiesofour learned friend Mr. John Eamesy that I was persuaded to revise these rtidiments of logic and when I had once suffered ray self to begin the work, I was drawn still onward far beyond my first design, even to the neglect, or too long delay of other pressing and important demands that were upon mt It hajs been my endeavour to form every part of this treatise both for the instruction of students, to open their way into the sciences, and for the more extensive and general service of mankind, that the gentleman and the Chris tian might find their account in the perusal as well as the scholar. I have therefore collected and proposed the chief principles and rul of ridit judisfment in matters of common and sacred importance, and pointed out our most frequent mistakes and prejudices in the concerns of life and religion, that we might better guard against the springs of error, guilt and sorrow, which surround us in our state of mortality. You know, Sir, the great design of this noble science is to rescue our reasoning powers from their unhappy slavery and darkness 5and thus, with all due submission and deference, it offers an humble assistance to divine revelations. I ts chief business is to relieve the natural weaknesses of the mind by some better efforts of nature; it is to diffuse alight over the understanding in our inquiries after truth, and not to furnish the tongue with debate and controversy.
