SECOND EDITION, REVISED AND AUGMENTED

NOTE

The present volume contains a translation, which has been revised throughout and compared with the original, of the Logic as given in the first part of Hegel's _Encyclopaedia,_ preceded by a bibliographical account of the three editions and extracts from the prefaces of that work, and followed by notes and illustrations of a philological rather than a philosophical character on the text. This introductory chapter and these notes were not included in the previous edition.

The volume containing my Prolegomena is under revision and will be issued shortly.
