A System of Logic: Ratiocinative and Inductive, 7th Edition, Vol. I
A System of Logic, first published in 1843, made John Stuart Mill's reputation and became a standard text for decades. Mill sets out to systematize the methods by which we gain knowledge, from the analysis of language to the logic of the sciences. This first volume of the seventh edition contains Book One, on names and propositions, where he distinguishes denotation from connotation; Book Two, on reasoning, where he argues that all inference is ultimately from particulars to particulars and questions the value of the syllogism; and most of Book Three, on induction, including the law of causation, the four methods of experimental inquiry that bear his name and the deductive method. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
