Kennington writes "But Lemmon used only deduction rules, with no axioms." 
(1) I'm afraid
he didn't undertand what he read. It is perfectly impossible to have a 
logical system
with no axiom. By axiom I mean a $a statement with no $e statement. 

It is often said that natural deduction has no axiom. But it is because the 
rule

Gamma, ph |- ph 

is implicit. (Where Gamma it the stack of hypotheses.)

And this rule is an axiom even though the unique axiom of natural deduction.
