Hardcover. Zustand: very good +. Later printing. Large octavo (9-1/2" x 7"). 3 volumes. xlvi, 674; xxxi, (1), 742; viii, 491, (1)pp. Original blue cloth, spines lettered in gilt. An ex-libray set but with minimal markings (only a faded rubber stamp on title page and at top of text block). Book plates of previous owner on front pastedowns. Internally clean and unmarked. Very minor bumping at extremities. The Fifth reprint of the second edition, first published in 1927. A foundation of mathematics by Russell and Whitehead originally conceived in 1910, and derived from Giuseppe Peano's lecture on his new system of symbolic logic first presented at a Paris lecture in 1900. The Principa has long been recognized as one of the intellectual landmarks of the century. It was the first book to show clearly the close relationship between mathematics and formal logic. Starting from a minimal number of axioms, Whitehead and Russell display the structure of both kinds of thought. No other book has had such an influence on the subsequent history of mathematical philosophy.".

Cloth. Zustand: Very good. Second Edition. Second Edition. We offer a set of the second edition, first printings of this important work in the publisher's matching blue bindings (10.5 x 7 inches). Bumped corners overall, minor wear to the bindings. A sound set. By volume: Vol I (first printing, 1925). xlvi, [1]-674, [2] pages. Scratching and wear to the binding, especially at the corners. Overall wear, splash mark to top of page edges. Penciled marginalia scattered throughout the text. Ruja and Blackwell A9.2a Vol II: (first printing, 1927). xxxi, [1], 742, [2] pages. Bookplate of "Huntington Harris" dated 1938 affixed to front pastedown. Ruja and Blackwell A9.2a. Vol III: (first printing, 1927) viii, 491, [1] pages. Binding with some soiling to front board. Bookplate of "Huntington Harris" dated 1938 affixed to front pastedown. There are two known states of this volume. The first state has some errors at the head of p 323, and has gilt titles on the spine. The second state fixes those errors, but has silver titles on the spine. This is a mixed state not recorded by Ruja and Blackwell with the corrections, but still with gilt titles. Ruja and Blackwell A9.2a. OFFERED WITH: Vol I: (second printing, 1935). xlvi, 674, [2] pages. A second Volume 1 with the bookplate of "Huntington Harris" dated 1938 affixed to front pastedown, BUT the second printing. This volume matches Vol II and III (the same bookplate). Ruja and Blackwell A9.2b. Apparently the previous owner had the matching set with Huntington Harris bookplates but wanted a complete set of first printings, hence the second Vol I included here. Cloth. ".the most elaborate attempt up to that time to develop the fundamental notions of arithmetic from a precise set of axioms." (Boyer, A History of Mathematics Second edition). "Taken as a whole, the Principia fills a double role. First, it constitutes a formidable effort to prove, or at least make plausible, the philosophical thesis best described by Russell in his 'The Principles of Mathematics: That all pure mathematics deals exclusively with concepts definable in terms of a very small number of fundamental logical concepts, and that all its propositions are deducible from a very small number of fundamental logical principles.' . commonly expressed by the assertion that logic furnishes a basis for all mathematics.The second role of the 'Principia' is the enrichment of mathematics with an impressive system, based on a thoroughly developmed mathematical logic and a set theory free of paradoxes, by which a substantial part of the body of mathematical knowledge becomes organized. The 'Principlia' is considered to be not only a historical masterpiece of mathematical architecture, but also of contemporary value insofar as it contains subtheories that are still very useful." (DSB, XIV, p304) This second edition includes a new introduction and three additional appendices in Volume 1.

First edition of volume one and second editions of volumes two and three, in the rare dust jackets of Russell and Whitehead's monumental work. Octavo, three volumes, original cloth. Rare and desirable. Probably named after Isaac Newton's great work, "Principia Mathematica was Whitehead and Russell s detailed account of their logicist thesis that mathematics could be derived solely from logical concepts and by logical methods [it] has had an influence, direct and indirect, of near Newtonian proportions upon the spheres of its chief influence: mathematical logic, set theory, the foundations of mathematics, linguistic analysis and analytical philosophy" (Grattan-Guinness, p. 89). "Whether they know it or not, all modern logicians are the heirs of Whitehead and Russell" (Palgrave, p. 20). In very good to near fine condition with volumes two and three in the rare original dust jackets, endpapers renewed to volume one.

XLVI, 674/ XXXI, 742/ VI, 491 S. Ln.

Second edition, fourth printing, three volumes, large 8vo. Cloth, d.w.'s, spine a little browned, tiny chip to the head of the spine of volume I. Originally published in 1910, the second edition first appeared in 1925.

First editions, an exceptionally rare presentation copy, inscribed by Whitehead on the front free endpapers of volumes I and II to his only sister, Shirley Maria Whitehead (1858-1943), "S.M.W. from A.N.W.", and dated "March 13 / 12" in the second volume (preceding publication in April). In 1891 Shirley Maria married Alfred's former Sherborne School mathematics master, the Rev. John Blanch (1842-1907), whom Alfred held in high esteem - in 1898 he presented him with an inscribed copy of his first book, Treatise on Universal Algebra with Applications. The marriage however is recorded as unhappy by Victor Lowe in his biography of Whitehead, and Blanch died by suicide in 1907, before the publication of the Principia Mathematica. Shirley continued to reside in Cambridge, where both Russell and Whitehead studied, and where they collaborated in writing the Principia. To our knowledge the only other presentation copy to have appeared on the market was that in the collection of Haskell F. Norman, which was presented to the mathematical philosopher Philip Jourdain. That copy, however, had only presentation slips from the publisher, rather than being inscribed directly by an author as here - it garnered $129,000 in the Norman sale in 1998. The authors are known to have sent complimentary copies to the library of Trinity College, Cambridge, of which they both were or had been Fellows, to R. G. Hawtrey, who checked over some of the text while it was in preparation, to G. G. Berry, a clerk at the Bodleian Library with remarkable abilities in mathematical logic, and to Jourdain. The University Press sent copies to G. Peano, G. Frege, L. Couturat, J. Royce, W. E. Johnson (who had examined the manuscript for the Press), E. W. Hobson, and A. R. Forsyth. We cannot trace the location of any of these copies, other than Jourdain's and the copy remaining in Trinity College, Cambridge. In the Principia, Whitehead and Russell attempted to construct "the whole body of mathematical doctrine by logical deduction from the basis of a small number of primitive ideas and a small number of primitive principles of logical inference" (DSB, XII, p. 14). This 'logicist' position holds that mathematics is as a branch of logic, and thus "that a separate philosophy of mathematics does not exist, a view contradicting the Kantian doctrine that mathematical proofs depend on a priori forms of intuition. the three colossal volumes of Principia Mathematica. formed the greatest single contribution to symbolic logic for the time" (ODNB). Russell wrote to Helen Flexner that he doubted anyone would read it all the way through, and it is renowned for its extraordinary complexity and impenetrability, yet nonetheless, it has been correctly called "one of the most impressive intellectual monuments of the twentieth century" (ibid.). A fourth volume, dealing with the applications to geometry, was planned but never finished, as both men turned their attention away from mathematics and towards philosophy. Aside from the desirable presentation, this is one of only 500 possible complete sets - the first volume was printed in 750 copies, but the publishers reduced the printings of volumes II and III to 500 copies each. John Slater, Emeritus Professor of Philosophy at the University of Toronto and editor of The Collected Papers of Bertrand Russell, suggests that there are probably fewer than 50 sets surviving in private hands. Blackwell & Ruja A9.1a; Church, Bibliography of Symbolic Logic, 194.1-3 (one of a handful of works marked by Church as being "of especial interest or importance"); Martin 101.01-03. Victor Lowe, Alfred North Whitehead: The Man and His Work, vol. I, 2020. 3 vols, large octavo. Original dark blue cloth, spines lettered in gilt and ruled in blind, rules continuing to covers in blind; joints and extremities neatly restored. Housed in custom morocco-entry blue cloth slipcase. Bookplate of South-west Essex Technical College and School of Art Library to front pastedowns of vol. I and II (active 1938-1970, absorbed into the North East London Polytechnic), their stamp to vol. I and II titles, every hundredth page from p. 5 on, and rear free endpapers and fore edges (vol. III without such markings and likely sometime supplied). Vol. I: endpapers toned with slight abrasion to front pastedown, upper outer corner a little bumped, two short closed tears at foot of first text leaf. Vol. II: restoration at upper outer corner of front free endpaper with loss to the "W" in the inscription. Vol. III with front free endpapers replaced, bump to lower outer corner. All three vols a little rubbed and sometime polished, vol. III a little more visibly. Contents clean aside from library markings. A very good set.

First Edition. First edition. Three volumes. ix, [5], 666; xxxiv, 772; x, 491 pp. Bound in publisher's navy cloth, spines lettered in gilt; housed in custom folding cloth box. Good condition overall. Unsophisticated copies, pleasantly not-ex-library (very uncommon in commerce thus), but certainly fragile. Rubbing to lettering, staining and edge wear to cloth, boards exposed at extremities; contents toned, brittle with age, and sometimes faintly foxed. Hinges of Vol. I starting; rear board split at head but holding; a few pages detached; about a fifth of pp.1-2 torn off but retained; circular tear to last several leaves of the volume. Vol. II has occasional marginal chipping including to lower corners of about 160 pages, not affecting text; tiny wormholes to inner margins of prelims; hinges worn with a few pages detached. Vol. III cloth chipped along edges; bump to bottom inner corner of textblock. A truly rare first edition of one of the major intellectual landmarks of the 20th century. It marked a milestone in the evolution of mathematical logic, upon which the development of computers and the information sciences would depend, by attempting to construct "the whole body of mathematical doctrine by logical deduction from the basis of a small number of primitive ideas and a small number of primitive principles of logical inference" (DSB, XII, p. 14). In the discipline of philosophy this work represents a culmination of centuries of empiricist and rationalist discourse, an ambitious masterwork.
