    Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. First printings. January, April, July, and October, 1942. Original printed wraps. Articles, Reviews, Notes; continuous pagination: 1-379. (Note that indexes for this volume are printed in the following year.) There is an editorial in the April issue explaining the change in format due to a wartime paper shortage, with no curtailment of the amount of material. The overall condition is very good, with some normal age-toning, especially to spines, and wear to the yapped edges. [Please see images of the 4 issues and their contents pages.] Interiors are bright and clean. A department inaugurated in January 1941, the Technical Scientific Section, picks up again here in the April issue with Robert S. Hartman's "Prime Number and Cosmical Number," James T. Culbertson's "A Physical Theory of Sensation," and Gustave Bergmann's "Syntactical Analysis of the Class Calculus." Four pages are printed on special glossy paper to accommodate photographs illustrating the text. Articles here by Max Black, Frank E. Egler, Ralph Waldo Gerard, Paul Weiss, and others. My philosopher-father had several volumes of this journal; each year is listed separately with images---please inquire if you are interested in a multi-volume discount. As with every book from my father's collection, tipped in at the front is the small, attractive, acid-free bookplate pictured on my homepage. All books are wrapped with special care and are shipped promptly---domestic sales sent with 'delivery confirmation' tracking; international sales sent via global priority, also with tracking.
