I am grateful to the Permissions Committee of the Bertrand Russell Archives, McMaster University, for allowing me to quote from Russell's manuscript Theory of Knowledge. My sincere and warm thanks are due to Mr. D. F. Pears of Christ Church College, Oxford, for having introduced me to Russell's manuscript. In addition, Mr. Pears' writings and lectures, and the discussions I had with him, were a continuous stimulus and help to my understanding of the relationship between Russell and Wittgenstein. Mr. B. F. McGuinness of Queen's College, Oxford, and Dr. P. K. Bastable of University College, Dublin, read an early version of my typescript, making valuable suggestions. I am most grateful to them both for their generous help. Acknowledgement is also due to the Royal Irish Academy for granting me a Research Fellowship which I enjoyed as a Visiting Fellow at New Hall, Cambridge, enabling me to complete the present work.
