In the essays gathered together in this volume we have the most developed and coherent available of the philosophy of Charles S. Peirce, whom James, Royce, Dewey, and leading thinkers in England, , and Italy have placed in the forefront of the great seminal minds of recent times. Besides their inherent value as the expression of a highly original and fruitful mind, unusually well trained and informed in the exact sciences, these essays are also important as giving us the sources of a great deal of contemporary American philosophy. Because of this historical importance no omissions or changes have been made in the text beyond the correction of some obvious slips and the recasting of a few expressions in the interest of intelligibility
