TitleUnpublished paper, 'On the algebraical analogues of logical relations' by Alexander J [John] Ellis

For this purpose, first the laws of such an algebra have been investigated independently of logic; and secondly the laws of primary and secondary logical propositions as laid down by Boole have been developed in an algebraical form, and compared with the former.
