Crakanthorp's 'Logicae Libri Quinque', which first appeared seven years after Sanderson's 'Compendium' was published, abandoned the theory of method altogether as a part of logic, and dwelt exclusively upon the doctrines relating to the predicables, the predicaments, the theory of logical terms, the classes of propositions, the demonstrative and the dialectical syllogisms, the places or topics of argument, and sophisms or fallacies. Thus Crakanthorp proved to be a better Aristotelian than Sanderson .... Howell, 'Eighteenth-Century British Logic and Rhetoric. Wing C6739.
