Friedrich Ueberweg (1826—71) is best remembered for both his compendious
History of Philosophy
and his
System of Logic
, both of which went through several editions in the original German. It was the latter’s remarkable popularity as a textbook in Germany that led Lindsay to translate it to fill a gap in the English market. As well as incorporating the most up-to-date revisions and additions of the German edition he inserted the opinions of the more important English logicians. As such this is a valuable textbook for the understanding of logic systems as taught in England and Germany before symbolic logic was a formal and distinct discipline.
