"A System of Logic: Ratiocinative and Inductive, 7th Edition, Vol. I" by John Stuart Mill is a philosophical work published in 1843. This foundational text formulates Mill's five principles of inductive reasoning, known as Mill's Methods, establishing empirical principles that would underpin his moral and political philosophies.
