Quote from ‘On the Algebra of Logic’

Term: 
Logical Validity
Quote: 

…a leading principle, which contains no fact not implied or observable in the premisses, is termed a logical principle, and the argument it governs is termed a complete, in contradistinction to an incomplete, argument, or enthymeme.

[—]

We may here distinguish between logical and extralogical validity; the former being that of a complete, the latter that of an incomplete argument.
