A Fair rebound copy of this very hard to find First Edition, first printing of William Jevons' follow-up to his 1870 classic "Elementary Lessons On Logic" - this volume mainly comprising a collection of examples, questions and answers plus exercises in various branches of logic (please note the exercises do not have any answers provided). Rebound in plain green cloth with title and author's name on the spine but no publisher stated - the publisher's ads at the rear are also not present in this copy. An acclaimed economist, statistician and logician, Jevons was the first economist to define the theory of "marginal" (or "final") utility in his classic 1871 work "The Theory Of Political Economy".
