Excerpt from An Account of the Life and Writings of James Beattie, Vol. 3 of 3: Late Professor of Moral Philosophy and Logic in the Marischal College and University of Aberdeen; Including Many of His Original Letters Such a selection, therefore, from his prose-writings only, together with a critique on his style and manner of writing, it was thought would be a most acceptable present to the admirers of Addison. Nor did we know any one so fit for the task as Dr Beattie, whose good taste, added to his enthusiastic admiration of that author, whom he had chosen as his own model in composition, qualified him highly for such an undertaking. On its being proposed to him, he most cheerfully agreed to set about it without delay; and even promised to himself much gratification in the execution.

Logic, Vol. 3 (Classic Reprint)

(The subjects discussed in Parts I and II come within the ...)

The subjects discussed in Parts I and II come within the scope of what may be called Formal Logic. Here the proposition is taken to be the immediate object of a possible assertion; and a consideration of its nature leads to the conception of the antithesis and connection of substantive with adjective, as disclosed in the analysis of the simplest articulate form of judgment. The function of language and more particularly of names is examined. It is held that the different forms assumed by compound propositions are indicated by various words, not standing for substantival or adjectival constituents, but expressive of the modes in which simple propositions or their constituents are to be connected by constructive thought. Such considerations lead to a preliminary definition and enumeration of logical categories roughly corresponding to (and replacing) the grammatical enumeration of parts of speech. In the more detailed examination which follows, substantives proper or existents are distinguished from quasi-substantives, adjectives predicable of the former being termed primary and those predicable of the latter secondary. Modality, in its formal aspects, is treated under the more general heading of secondary propositions. Adjectives are divided into transitive adjectives (otherwise relations) and intransitive adjectives, in precise analogy with the grammatical division of verbs; and again into monadic, dyadic, triadic, etc. (Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)

Hkewise so expensive, as to be above the reach of many who would otherwise wish to be purchasers; and who would also be gratified by a perusal of some anecdotes of his life not generally to be met with. Such a selection, therefore, from his prose-writings only, together with a critique on his style and manner of writing, it was thought would be a most acceptable present to the admirers of A ddison. Nor did we know any one so fit for the task as Dr Beattie, whose good taste, added to his enthusiastic admiration of that author, whom he had chosen as his own model in composition, qualified him highly for such an undertaking. On its being proposed to him, he most cheerfully agreed to set about it without delay; and even prqmised to himself much gratification in the execution.

A rK. Ill the compilation of the A ipciulix, some responsibility resti with the lilitors ;ami a lv words of explanation may be necessary as re!];arils the manner in which they have attempteil to perform this jwrtion of their task. In publishing the jiapers of a deceased writer, composed at various intervals during a long period of years, and treating of diflicult and controverted questions, there arc two opposite dangers to be guarded against. On the one hand, there is the danger of compromising the Author sreputation by the publication of documents which his maturcr judgment might not have sanctioned ;and, on the other hand, there is the danger of committing an opposite injury to him and to the public, by withholding writings of interest and value. Had Sir William Hamilton, at any period of his life, published a systematic treatise on Logic, or had his projected Neiu Analytic of Logical Forms been left in a state at all approaching to completeness, theE ditors might probably have obtained a criterion by which to distinguish between those speculations which would have received the final impyiymU ur of their A uthor, and those which would not. In the absence of any such criterion, they have thought it better to run the risk of giving too much than too little; to publish whatever appeared to have any philosophical or historical interest, without being influenced by its coincidence with their own opinions, or by its coherence with other parts of the Author swritings.
