"I am writing to request the permission of Continuum 1 to publish a collection of Bertrand Russell's philosophical essays, none of which has been collected before." He proposes to entitle the volume Induction and Empirical Knowledge, Selected Writings of Bertrand Russell, 1914-1961.

"There is, I think, very good evidence that Russell considered Principia Mathematica and Human Knowledge to be his major contributions to philosophy."

6336

"Kevin Holland, whom you recommended to us some time before Lord Russell's death, is anxious to begin work on a volume of Russell's philosophical correspondence."

Re the Notes to Human Knowledge. "As you know, in their original form the 'Notes' comprise over 200 pages of manuscript. They show how Russell worked out the conclusions (including the alternatives he considered) in what everyone, himself included, regards as his philosophical testament. We know Russell regarded the book as important and that he was dismayed at its lack of enduring influence."

"The original MS of Introduction to Mathematical Philosophy has turned up in someone's attic."

"We aim to supply that need in an edition of The Collected Papers of Bertrand Russell that is complete, reliable, critical, annotated, and arranged on the soundest principles. ... About 28 volumes are projected. The Russell Editorial Project would require close to fifteen years of intense effort."

6380

"I am enormously excited by the Collected Papers, and hope that by the time you receive this note you will have good news on the financial front. ... I still harbour hopes to return to the Archives....but that is a long-running saga."
