The Game of Logic (Hardcover)

The Game of Logic is a recreational activity devised by author Lewis Carroll - this edition contains all of his original and vitally demonstrative illustrations. Although Carroll is best known for his short stories and novels for children, he also harbored a great passion for mathematics and logic puzzles, which he felt held great facility for developing the minds of young and old. He designed a game of logic which attained popularity following his enormously successful stories for children. Although old fashioned and dated by today's standards, Carroll's game offers profound insight into the recreational mathematics and number games of the late 19th century. This book contains a set of detailed instructions for playing Carroll's game, which requires sheets of paper, a ruler and pencil for drawing the tables, and a set of counters. This edition contains all the diagrams and tables crucial for understanding what the author describes.
