Notes and topics
"Friday night." BR has "read a long rather unfavourable review of Principia Mathematica in the Bulletin of the American Math. Soc. I thought the man very stupid, which I suppose was natural."
[The review seems to be the one by James Byrnie Shaw, "What Is Mathematics?", BAMS, 18 (May 1912): 386-411.]
