Logic for the Million, by James William Gilbart (1794 - 1863)
I have called this book, Logic for the Million. By this title, I mean that here the Art of Reasoning is explained in such a way as to be readily understood even by those men and women who have not had the advantage of a literary education. (Summary by Preface)
