Originally published in 1962. A clear and simple account of the
growth and structure of Mathematical Logic, no earlier knowledge of
logic being required. After outlining the four lines of thought
that have been its roots - the logic of Aristotle, the idea of all
the parts of mathematics as systems to be designed on the same sort
of plan as that used by Euclid and his Elements, and the
discoveries in algebra and geometry in 1800-1860 - the book goes on
to give some of the main ideas and theories of the chief writers on
Mathematical Logic: De Morgan, Boole, Jevons, Pierce, Frege, Peano,
Whitehead, Russell, Post, Hilbert and Goebel. Written to assist
readers who require a general picture of current logic, it will
also be a guide for those who will later be going more deeply into
the expert details of this field.

David Hume's Treatise of Human Nature, composed before the author
was twenty-eight years old, was published in 1739 and 1740. In
revising the late L.A. Selby-Bigge's edition of Hume's Treatise
Professor Nidditch corrected verbal errors and took account of
Hume's manuscript amendments. He also supplied the text of the
Abstract of the Treatise following the original 1740 edition and
provided an apparatus of variant readings.
David Hume's Treatise of Human Nature, was composed before the
author was twenty-six years old, was published in 1739 and 1740.
Its importance was not generally recognised at the time. Hume,
attributing the failure of his Treatise to the manner of its
writing rather than the matter is contained, cast the first part of
that work anew in the Enquiry concerning Human Understanding
(1748), and afterwards continued the same process in the second
work contained in this volume, the Enquiry concerning the
Principles of Morals (1751).
