Abstract:
The Compend of Logick is an interesting illustration of late eighteenth-century American collegiate education. Student Caesar Augustus Rodney penned the work in 1788 frrom a course on logic taught by moral philosophy professor Samuel Magaw. The notebook is a noteworthy manuscript from the early days of an influential university--the University of the State of Pennsylvania--in the hands of a student who would later become an important legal and political figure in the early republic.
