“The native acuteness and ingenuity of [Carroll’s] intellect led him to devote much attention to formal logic, in whose intricate puzzles he delighted, and he almost seemed to have convinced himself that it was an engine for the discovery of new truth, instead of a means of detecting error—that more could be got out of the premises than was put into them” (DNB). This first published edition was preceded only by an extremely small private printing in 1886 that Carroll suppressed.
