Metaphysics sta[r]ted after Aristotle as a separate Discipline. Aristotle knew nothing of it only that it came out his head after physics. Confer other barbarous uncharacteristic appellations. Ex. gr. Legal - viz. Hanaper Pells - Green[?] wax[?] Petty Bag - Equity.

Ch.

'.2 Account given of Logic by the Aristotelians, its imperfections.

The account which[?] in this work of logic, is given of logic considered in regard to its nature and business, is before the reader: if the extent given to it in that account is not in a considerable part improper and irrelevant, the extent given to it by the Aristotelians will be seen to be incomplete.

Of the topics that presented themselves as appertaining to this art - appertaining to it in such sort that supposing any one omitted the account would pro tanto have been incompleat, the list is before the reader; if this list be a correct one, that given by the Aristotelians will be seen to be an incongruous one: on the one hand deficient, on the other hand redundant.
