A lifetime edition of J.S. Mill's (1806-1873) greatest work of pure philosophy.

First published in 1843, A System of Logic was the result of twelve years of labour in which Mill attempted to find a coherent method of scientific inquiry that could explain the operation of 'moral and social phenomena' (Preface) in the real world. As a result, the book courted great controversy from its first publication in 1843, receiving criticism from defenders of more traditional systems of ethics rooted in metaphysics and theology.

Fifth edition; 2 vols; 8vo (23 x 15 cm); publisher's ads to rear of each vol., old bookseller's blindstamp and previous ownership inscriptions to front free endpapers, occasional slight spotting, minor dampstaining to margins of prelims of vol. I; publisher's green blind-panelled cloth, original paper labels to spines, uncut edges, occasionally unopened, minor wear, very good; xvi, 536, 4[ads]; xii, 550, [2 ads]pp.
