Notes on logic, September 1913, p. 93-106. `Two versions of these notes exist, one in the possession of Lord Russell and the other published by Mr. H. T. Costello in the Journal of Philosophy for April 25th, 1957, Volume LIV, No. 9. Mr. Costello got his version from Lord Russell in 1914. Lord Russell himself is unable to remember how there came to be two versions. We are indebted to Mr. J. Griffin, of St. Anthony's College, Oxford, for bringing it to our attention that there is convincing internal evidence to shew that Mr. Costello's version was made by Wittgenstein himself, being a rearrangement, with some small alterations, of the earlier material. Since this version seems to be an improvement on the earlier one, we reproduce it here, with some sh=mall correcions of copyists' errors.' -- Appendix II. Notes dictated to G. E. Moore in Norway, April 1914, p. 107-18. -- Appendix III. Extracts from Wittgenstein's letters to Russell, 1912-20. -- Appendixes I-II are in English; German texts in Appendix III are followed by translations. -- Wittgenstein's earliest extant texts. `Most of the notebooks containing his preliminary work, belonging to all his periods of writing, were destroyed by his orders in 1950.

Three of these last survived, however, by the accident of having been left in the house of his youngest sister, Mrs. Stonborough, at Gmunden, instead of in Vienna. The first two are are continuous. They form the main body of the present volume.' (p. v).

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. First edition of the earliest surviving text by Wittgenstein, his philosophical diary kept while he was writing the Tractatus. It was first published here, with three appendices, as the fourth and final volume of Blackwell's edition of Wittgenstein's collected works. 'Most of the notebooks containing [Wittgenstein's] preliminary work, belonging to all his periods of writing, were destroyed by his orders in 1950. These included a large number of notebooks from the time of germination of the Tractatus. Three of these last survived, however, by the accident of having been left in the house of his youngest sister, Mrs. Stonborough, at Gmunden, instead of in Vienna. They were written in the years 1914-16 when Wittgenstein was 25-7 years old. The first two are continuous. They form the main body of the present volume. The Appendices comprise two sets of notes, one composed in 1913 and given to Russell, and the other dictated to G. E. Moore in Norway in 1914; and, further, such passages from Wittgenstein's letters to Russell as bear on the Tractatus' (Editors' Preface). PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: 8vo, vi, 91 + 91e [parallel German/English text], 93-131 pp., erratum slip at p. 99, original gilt-lettered navy cloth, unclipped dust-jacket with a light stain and a small hole in the spine panel repaired with an underlay, endpapers and edges a little spotted as often with this edition, otherwise internally very good.
