The first book contains, in addition to the classical doctrine of the syllogism, a chapter on mathematical logic, one on probability, and one on the nature of a logical system. The second book contains chapters on hypotheses, probability and induction, measurement, inference in history, and the place of logic in value. There are in all 20 chapters, plus numerous exercises and an index. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2012 APA, all rights reserved)
