Item Details
Description
Whitehead (Alfred North) and Bertrand Russell. Principia Mathematica, vol.1 only (of 3), first edition, [one of 750 copies], half-title, slightly browned, endpapers foxed, original cloth, spine gilt, extremities a little rubbed, spine ends creased and frayed, lower cover lightly marked, 4to, Cambridge, 1910.

⁂ Whitehead and Russell's brilliant but failed attempt to place mathematics on a logical basis. Volume I was printed in a run of 750 copies but met with disappointing sales, largely due to the baffling complexity of the work.
