First-Order LogicFirst-Order Logic 
by Raymond M. Smullyan
This self-contained study is both an introduction to quantification theory and an exposition of new results and techniques in "analytic" or "cut free" methods. The focus is on the tableau point of view. Includes 144 illustrations.
Mathematical LogicMathematical Logic
