8vo. [4], v-ix, [2], 2-242, [5], 4-62 (pages of publisher's advertisements) pp. Maroon cloth with gold lettering on the spine. Anellis, Irving H. "Review" The Review of Modern Logic Volume 11 Numbers 1 & 2 (June 2007 December 2008) [Issue 33], pp. 87 105. Risse Logica II, 160. Slater 882. Influenced by John Venn, Shearman's work expounded on the research and mathematical work of Frege, Peano, and Russell. Shearman's book provides an explanation of the state of logical knowledge during the years after the publication of Russell's The Principles of Mathematics and prior to Russell and Whitehead's Principia. Shearman also explores the philosophical issues central to what was then the current discussion between logicians and philosophers, a discussion of the nature of logic -- whether logic "should be viewed as a calculus of propositions or a calculus of terms", and other questions. Shearman expresses his philosophical views on these issues with "a conceptual account of the history of logic from Boole's The Laws of Thoughts to Russell's Principles of Mathematics". He aims to make sense of the different systems developed during the latter part of the nineteenth century, and argues that, in spite of their differences, they still formed a single logical calculus. Shearman discusses important researchers who contributed to the development of symbolic logic after Boole: John Venn, Ernst Schr�der, John Neville Keynes, Christine Ladd-Franklin (the first American woman to complete graduate studies in symbolic logic), and Charles S. Peirce. An important early work in the history of mathematical logic. A Very Good book with moderate foxing to the fore-edge, one leaf shows a small corner crease.
