Editorial Reviews

"Graham Stevens' book is a welcome contribution to Russell scholarship, accessible to students as well as professionals. ...Stevens' book is highly recommended for anyone interested in the background to Russell's early logical concerns, through the development of his work in Principia and later developments up to Human Knowledge in the late 1940's."
-David Blitz, Central Connecticut State University, Russell: The Journal of Bertrand Russell Studies, Vol. 29, no. 1, Summer 2009
