*' Ail acts of reasoning,'' the author says, ^^ seevi to me to be dif- 

 ferent cases of one uniform process, which may perhaps be best 

 described as the substitution of similars. This phrase charly 

 expresses that familiar mode in which we continuctlly argue by 

 analogy from like to like, and take one thing as a representative 

 of another. The chief difficulty consists in showing that all the 

 forms of the old logic, as well as the fundamental rules of mathe- 

 matical reasoning, may be explained upon the same principle; end 

 it is to this difficult task I have devoted the most attention. Should 

 my notion be true, a vast mass of technicalities may be swept from 

 our logical text-books and yet the small remaining part of logical 

 doctrine •will prove far moi-e useful than all the learning of the 

 Schoolmen. " Prefixed is a plan of a new reasoning machine, the 

 Logical Abacus, the construction and working of which is fully 

 explained in the text and Appendix. "Mr. Jevon^ book is very 

 clear and intelligible, and quite worth consulting." — Guardian.
