Writings of Charles S. Peirce: a Chronological Edition, Volume 4: 1879–1884

"The volumes are handsomely produced and carefully edited, . . . For the first time we have available in an intelligible form the writings of one of the greatest philosophers of the past hundred years . . . " —The Times Literary Supplement " . . . an extremely handsome and impressive book; it is an equally impressive piece of scholarship and editing." —Man and World
