Abstract
The third of three volumes containing Peirce’s contributions to The Nation. A final fourth volume is planned which will include indices and appendices for the preceding parts. The three volume production of Peirce’s contributions does not reflect any structural or conceptual division, but rather was adopted solely for convenience of publication. The materials are presented in a strictly chronological sequence, the present volume beginning with an entry of 10 January 1901 and ending with the final contribution of 17 December 1908, followed by several obituaries of Peirce printed in The Nation. The entries are prefaced by the citation of volume, date, and page; column heads, titles, and bibliographic data are reproduced exactly as they appeared in The Nation. A major book review is given a separate title, while smaller reviews and notices are included in a section entitled "Notes." Some of the shorter reviews are preceded by publication data, while others are simply incorporated in the "Notes" section with no particular designation. Correspondence is also given a special title, and all such titles or designations, as provided by the editorial staff of The Nation, are reproduced as they appeared. Further, there are citations of all information or arguments available that confirm or make probable Peirce’s authorship of questionable entries. In many cases, there is a brief biography of the person to be addressed in the article. These various procedures serve to greatly aid the reader in making his way through a seeming kaleidoscope of essays.
