    Operations, functions, faculties, main instrument - the relation borne by logic to all these articles has already been brought to view: By the art of logic, direction and assistance is given to the mind, in the carrying on of all these its various operations - in the performance of these its functions, in the exercise of these its faculties, in the giving employment to that main instrument: thus extensive and diversified are its uses: always remembered, that on each occasion it is only in so far as an one[?] by any direction and assistance so given by it encrease is in some shape or other given to the balance on the side of happiness, that any use that can be made of this or any other instrument can be of any real value.

    In the character of an appendage /As appendages/ to that /After a definition of the word logic, in the/ definition the Aristotelians have brought to view terms a cluster of abstract terms which had presented themselves as in some way or other appertaining to it, and as promising to contribute to the explanation of the nature of the art {designated by it the end which that term was employed by them to designate} /defined by it/.

    Precognita de naturâ Logicæ is the title given prefixed to the Chapter {being Chapter the first} in which, in the Compendium of Sanderson, the definition of Logic, with these explanations subjoined to it is contained.

     N.B. This supposes subject to have been antecedently spoken of as a characteristic.

    Ch.3.IV. Operations to the performance of which Logic is capable of affording direction and assistance.

    '.1. Relation of this characteristic to those others preceding it, i.e. the human mind by means of it and under the direction of it, the human mind is capable of performing.

    3. As to the several operations which in that field or any of its modifications, and in pursuit of that end or any of its modifications, and thence in pursuit of any subordinate ends considered as capable of serving in relation to it in the character of means.

    Whatsoever be the art in which they are required to be performed or in relation to which action is required or the products of that art, the above operations will be found capable of being performed in relation to it: operations - all of them contributing or tending to the attainment of the abovementioned general end, in so far as the art, or the science, or the practice or act in question is in its nature in any shape applicable to that end.

    When these are considered as so many species of operations, to the due and apt and successful performance of which the art called logic is capable of being rendered subservient, this topic - the topic of mental operations, is considered as susceptible of being applied to the several subjects of the same art, as above-mentioned, and in that respect as considered in which, in opposition to abstracted or abstract, has been called a concrete or practical point of view.

    A different point of view which has this instant been spoken of under the name of abstract is that in which the operations performable are considered as corresponding to so many faculties of the human frame by or by means of which they are performable: and on this occasion {with little or no variation} the same denomination is capable of serving, and accordingly has in great measure been made to serve for the operation itself, and the faculty the fictitious part or member of the mind by or by means of which the operation has been considered as being, and said to be performed.
