>I am apt to suspect the Negroes to be naturally inferior to the Whites. There never was a civilized nation of any other complexion than white, nor even any individual eminent either in action or speculation. No ingenious manufacturer amongst them, no arts, no sciences. On the other hand, the most rude and barbarous of the Whites, such as the ancient German, the present Tartars, still have something eminent about them, in their valor, form of government, or some other particular. Such a uniform and constant difference could not happen in so many countries and ages, if nature had not made an original distinction betwixt these breeds of men. Not to mention our colonies, there are Negro slaves dispersed all over Europe, of whom none ever discovered any symptoms of ingenuity; though low people, without education, will start up amongst us, and distinguish themselves in every profession. In Jamaica, indeed, they talk of one Negro as a man of parts and learning; but it is likely he is admired for slender accomplishments, like a parrot who speaks a few words plainly.

I am genuinely curious as to what people who have read it think of it. I haven't read the book, but I was curious about it, which is why I made the thread.

It's fine. It's just an intro to logic for people who've never bothered to study it because fear of rigor and busier social climbing.

I don't see why you couldn't just pick up one of the hundreds of books out there on logic, rhetoric, and argumentation if you are tired of teens with anime avatars mocking you on twitter.

There's something very amusing about the fact that at its core, this book exists because salty extremely online people are upset with getting BTFO by anime avis. May their dreams be eternally haunted by smug anime girls.

Imagine having an entire political ideology that you cant support, so you need a meme book to tell you how to think and which rhetoric to use.
