Excerpt from Lectures on LogicThe Lectures comprised in the present Volume form the second and concluding portion of the Biennial Course on Metaphysics and Logic, which was com menced by Sir William Hamilton on his election to the Professorial Chair in 1836, and repeated, with but slight alterations, till his decease in 1856. The Ap pendix contains various papers, composed for the most part during this period, which, though portions of their contents were publicly taught at least as early as 1840, were only to a very small extent incorporated into the text of the Lectures.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
