This copy part of the "cheap issue", using the unsold sheets of the original edition with later advertisements and with the reduced price of 6 shillings and 6 pence stamped at the foot of the spine. De Morgan was one of the founders of modern mathematical logic, and Formal Logic is his principal contribution to the field, "the work in which DeMorgan took the first steps to codify logic into an algebraic system. He was not entirely successful, and it was George Boole who devised the first really workable system a few years later. In his research, DeMorgan had consulted the Scottish philosopher Sir William Hamilton on the history of logic, and Hamilton later accused him of plagiarizing his idea of a qualified predicate. His reply to this charge was printed in one of his regular Athenaeum magazine columns and in his book A budget of paradoxes. An account of this public dispute is given in the appendix to this work. It was this controversy that brought George Boole into the field and eventually resulted in the creation of Boolean algebra" (Tomash & Williams). Risse II, p. 55. Octavo. Original embossed cloth, rebacked preserving the original spine, lettered in gilt and with the price 6/6 at foot, yellow advertisement endpapers.
