    Whitehead (Alfred North) and Bertrand Russell.Principia Mathematica, vol. 2 and 3 only (of 3), first editions, half-titles, light finger-soiling to margins, Liverpool Library ink library stamps and bookplates with ink Withdrawn over-stamps, light browning to endpapers, hinges starting or weak, original cloth, Liverpool library blind-stamps to covers and lettering to spines, vol. 2 spine chipped at head with loss, spine ends and corners bumped and frayed, [Norman 1868], 8vo, 1912-13. ⁂ The rare second and third volumes of Whitehead and Russell's brilliant but failed attempt to place mathematics on a logical basis. The influence of this extraordinarily complex work was nevertheless profound, ultimately transforming the studies of logic, set theory and linguistic analysis. The first volume was printed in a run of 750 copies but sold poorly due largely to its complexity. This led to reduced runs of 500 copies for the two later volumes resulting in their present rarity.
