    De Morgan’s Formal Logic did not gain significant recognition, primarily because it was a large collection of small facts without a significant synthesis. Boole’s The Mathematical Analysis of Logic had powerful methods that caught the attention of a few scholars such as De Morgan and Arthur Cayley (1821–1895); but immediately there were serious questions about the workings of Boole’s algebra of logic: Just how closely was it tied to ordinary algebra? How could Boole justify the procedures of his
