Title: A collection of 20 mathematical and physical papers.
Description: v.p. 1877 - 1904 20 offprints and extracts, varying octavos together in early cloth, wrappers (when issued) preserved. In excellent shape. ¶ Peirce's papers from 1903 to 1913 were collected and published by Harvard University in 1926 but his earlier papers apparently remain fugitive. A short title list: 1.
