J. B. has expressed
surprise at want of instructiveness
in the examples
in Sanderson's compend.
As little logical instruction
as there is political
in the Contract Social.

When speaking of the Aristotelian logic otherwise alias dict'
called logic of the Schools Mr Bentham has often been
heard calling to mind the surprise and disappointment
experienced by him at observing, in Mis Sandersons compend, well digested and useful as it is, the utter want of intstructiveness
in the examples, numerous as they are which it
contains: this actual nothingness forming so curious a contrast
with the magnificence of its pretensious professing as it
to contain within itself a sort of miniature Encyclopaedia in miniature,
teaching every thing that is worth knowing. The case
is that what is taught by these examples, and given for demonstration, is little if any thing
more than the relation which in common speech one word the import of
one of two words bears to that of another: and much of a
sort with the encyclopaedical instructions thus conveyed by their
system of logic is the political instruction conveyed
by Rousseau in his Contract Social: as little use made in
the one as in the other of the only sources of real information —
observation, experience and experiment
