Scope and content

A volume containing notes on logic very closely related to the published text of Dr Edward Bentham, An Introduction to Logick, Scholastical and Rational (Oxford, 1773, repr. Menston, 1967): 'An Introduction to Logick by Edward Bentham. D. D. Fellow of Oriel College Oxford' (First line: 'Logick is the Art of using our intellectual Faculties to the best Advantage ...'; last line: 'Orators, whose chief Employment it is to select such incidental Circumstances, as favour their Cause, & heighten their Importance') (pp. 1-169).
The present text could be based on notes taken at Bentham's lectures (he tutored at Oriel College from 1732) or on an unpublished draft of the published work, as it includes many of the footnotes found in the printed edition. The hand is that of Robert Godolphin Owen, son of William Owen (d. 1768) of Brogyntyn; he matriculated in 1751 at Oriel College (see Alumni Oxonienses), where he studied logic with Bentham (see letters, 1751-1752, from RGO, now NLW, Brogyntyn Estate and Family Records PEC5/10/54-63).
