This treatise is an outgrowth of our class room work in logic.
It has been published in the hope of removing some of the difficulties which handicap the average student.
We trust that the language is simple and definite and that the illustrative exercises and diagrams may be helpful in making clear some of the more abstruse topics.
If a speedy review for examination is necessary, it is recommended that the briefer course as outlined on page 493 be followed and that the summaries closing each chapter be carefully read.
