About This Item
New York: W. W. Norton & Company, Inc.,, 1940. First edition, first printing, family presentation copy from the author, inscribed on the front free endpaper to his elder brother Robert Cloyd Quine: "Equinoctial greetings to R. Quine from W. V. do., together with a bit of escape reading". Mathematical Logic was derived from the course of lectures in the subject which Quine delivered at Harvard University, in part aimed as a clear exposition of the subject for students, but also outlines the new research in the field which he had conducted since the publication of his System of Logistic in 1934. Octavo. Original green cloth, spine lettered in gilt. Spine and extremities lightly sunned with slight rubbing, contents unmarked; a very good copy.
