Description
"First published by Stein and Day in 1979. In the Stein and Day edition, the work principally consisted of a handbook of verbal logic, but also contained some introductory and other material of a more popular and ephemeral nature, developed by the author at the request of the publisher. This edition contains everything germane to the author's original concept of a timeless handbook of verbal logic."
