BOOLE, George (1815-1864). An Investigation of the Laws of Thought, on which are founded the mathematical theories of logic and probabilities. London: Macmillan, 1854. 8° (222 x 143mm). Original green pebble-cloth, gilt-lettered spine including Boole's name (extremities only fractionally rubbed, front hinge just starting to split).
A FINE COPY OF THE FIRST EDITION OF BOOLE'S GREAT WORK ON MATHEMATICAL LOGIC. In this issue, the title, L2 and Q8 are cancels, the errata leaf is the last leaf of preliminaries, and there is an additional 'Note' leaf inserted before the errata, this latter not in the Norman collation. Boole's work hugely influenced mathematicians in the second half of the 19th century, and even led to the development of computer technology once C.E. Shannon's master's thesis of 1937 'recognised that the true/false values in Boole's two-valued algebra were analogous to the open and closed states of electric circuits.' Norman 266.
