Excerpt from Fallacies: A View of Logic From the Practical Side
This book is intended, like the others in the International Scientific Series, mainly for the general reader. That is to say, it requires no previous technical training, and is written as much as possible from the unprofessional point of view.
Although any treatment of Fallacies must be to a great extent a treatment of methods of Proof, and must therefore demand a certain amount of general logical theory, yet by trying to keep chiefly in view the practical side of the science of Logic, - subordinating to that all other interests or inquiries, - I have been able to neglect the discussion of much debatable matter and to avoid definite adherence to a school. No doubt, Mill and Bain, - and, more remotely, Hume, - are the authors to whom the general substance of the present work is mainly traceable; but one may, I hope, utilise many of their results without being compelled to accept the whole of their Philosophy.
