Of contributions towards the history of special periods or schools of
logical thought the list, from the opening chapters of Ramus's
_Scholae Dialecticae_ (1569) downwards (v. Rabus _loc. cit._) would be
endless. What is of value in the earlier works has now been absorbed.
The _System der Logik_ (1828) of Bachmann (a Kantian logician of
distinction) contains a historical survey (pp. 569-644), as does the
_Denklehre_ (1822) of van Calker (allied in thought to Fries) pp. 12
sqq.; Eberstein's _Geschichte der Logik und Metaphysik bei den
Deutschen von Leibniz bis auf gegenwärtige Zeit_ (latest edition,
1799) is still of importance in regard to logicians of the school of
Wolff and the origines of Kant's logical thought. Hoffmann, the editor
and disciple of von Baader, published _Grundzüge einer Geschichte der
Begriffe der Logik in Deutschland von Kant bis Baader_ (1851).
Wallace's prolegomena and notes to his _Logic of Hegel_ (1874, revised
and augmented 1892-1894) are of use for the history and terminology,
as well as the theory. Riehl's article entitled _Logik in Die Kultur
der Gegenwart_, vi. 1. _Systematische Philosophie_ (1907), is
excellent, and touches on quite modern developments. Liard, _Les
Logiciens Anglais Contemporains_ (5th ed., 1907), deals only with the
19th-century inductive and formal-symbolic logicians down to Jevons,
to whom the book was originally dedicated. Venn's _Symbolic Logic_
(1881) gave a careful history and bibliography of that development.
The history of the more recent changes is as yet to be found only in
the form of unshaped material in the pages of review and
_Jahresbericht_. (H. W. B.*)
