Author: FREGE, Gottlob.
Title: Translations from the Philosophical Writings, edited by Peter Geach and Max Black.
Description: Oxford, Blackwell 1952. Octavo, very good in publisher's cloth and torn dustwrapper (a large piece from the front panel). ¶ First edition, philosopher John Passmore's copy, with his bookplate. A prospective customer just backed away from this because of the dustwrapper even after I explained my conviction that Passmore absent mindedly tore off that piece and used it to clean his pipe while pondering some abstruse principle. Now I'm sure that Passmore excitedly tore off that piece and scribbled down an axiom that annihilated everything done in mathematics and philosophy from Russell and Whitehead thru Wittgenstein and united philosophy and science. Then he absent mindedly used that scrap to clean his pipe and the greatest breakthrough in modern history was lost.
