Scope and content
States that the reasoning Dodgson has sent to him is invalid in the last two steps, and explains his conclusions through logical equations. Adds that if Dodgson has 'ingeniously concealed some pitfall into which [Sidgwick has] artlessly fallen', he must bear in mind that [Sidgwick] is professionally a moral philosopher, and not a logician.
