Hegel's Logic: A Book on the Genesis of the Categories of the Mind

Excerpt from Hegel's Logic: A Book on the Genesis of the Categories of the Mind
When I promised Professor Morris to write this book (in 1883), I intended to throw together some of my previous studies on Hegel's Logic, with the addition of more or less new matter in the form of commentary and connecting introductions. I had worked pretty constantly on the subject of this logic - though mostly using the expositions of it which I found in histories of philosophy, rather than Hegel's own exposition - as a sort of center of all my thinking since the year 1860, making, it is true, very slow progress. I had always cherished the project of writing some sort of commentary to the work, but did not think that I could prepare a worthy book for twenty years.
I soon discovered that if I were to place before the public an immature work on this subject I should find myself embarrassed at any time afterwards to obtain a hearing for the ripened views which I hoped to reach.
