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.

This book is a reproduction of an important historical work. Forgotten Books uses state-of-the-art technology to digitally reconstruct the work, preserving the original format whilst repairing imperfections present in the aged copy.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
