Translated in 1901. Introductory note. The text used is that of the ‘Selecta ex Organo Aristoteleo Capitula,’ published by the Clarendon Press, and, for portions of the work not included in those selections, the Tauchnitz edition of the Organon (1893). Where the numberings of the chapters differ, the system adopted in the Clarendon Press selections has been followed. I am much indebted, as regards the short analyses placed at the head of each chapter, to St. Hilaire’s ‘Logique d’Aristote’ (Paris, 1838), and, for the translation, to Dr. Zell’s ‘Zweite Analytica’ (Stuttgart, 1840). Two chapters of the Prior Analytics (Bk. II. cc. 23, 24) have been added in an Appendix, as illustrating Aristotle’s doctrine of Induction and Example. E. S. B. Oxford, June, 1901. Book I. *Chap. I.: Whether a Demonstrative Science exists *Chap. II.: What Knowing is, what Demonstration is, and of what it consists *Chap. III.: A refutation of the error into which some have fallen concerning Science and Demonstration *Chap. IV.: The meaning of ‘Distributive,’ ‘Essential,’ ‘Universal’ *Chap. V.: From what causes mistakes arise with regard to the discovery of the Universal. How they may be avoided *Chap. VI.: Demonstration is founded on Necessary and Essential Principles *Chap. VII.: The Premises and the Conclusion of a Demonstration must belong to the same genus *Chap. VIII.: Demonstration is concerned only with what is eternal *Chap. IX.: Demonstration is founded not on general, but on special and indemonstrable principles; nor is it easy to know whether one really possesses knowledge drawn from these principles *Chap. X.: The Definition and Division of Principles *Chap. XI.: On certain Principles which are common to all Sciences *Chap. XII.: On Questions, and, in passing, on the way in which Sciences are extended *Chap. XIII.: The difference between the Demonstration and Science of a thing’s Nature and those of its Cause *Chap. XIV.: The figure proper to Demonstrate Syllogism *Chap.
