Cambridge, 19 August 1880 I have just received yours of July 24. I am glad the young gentlemen got their degrees. I have an ambition & an expectation of making my lectures the coming year a great improvement everyway on last year’s. If you please, I wish to extend them through the whole year if possible, & if Patterson consents, |
|
I expect to make two courses, one very elementary and practical, the other to take up first the algebra of logic, then probabilities, and finally inductive logic.
I have this summer made a discovery in logic which seems to me to be really important. I shall develop it in an early number of the Journal of Mathematics; and shall explain it in my lectures. This paper which is appearing in the Journal will probably |
|
be in 3 parts and will cover over 100 pages. The first part appears in the number which is nearly ready. I think it will be well for me to put some of my copies on sale at Cushing & Baily's for the convenience of my students. If there is any objection to this, let the Journal do it. Of course the question of profits doesn't exist.
I am obliged to you for your sympathetic ex- |
|
pressions in regard to my father. I think he is slowly losing strength.
I cannot send an announcement of my lectures until I see Patterson. C. S. Peirce D. C. Gilman, Esq. L.L.D. President Johns Hopkins University etc. etc. etc. |
