Paper, 'Note to a memoir on the theory of mathematical form' by A B [Alfred Bray] Kempe

Description

Kempe writes: 'An interesting letter of criticism from Professor C S Peirce on my recently published Memoir on the Theory of Mathematical Form has led me to reconsider certain paragraphs therein, relating to the definition of what I have termed “aspects,” and I am anxious to make the following amendments. For Section 5 substitute— 5. In like manner some pairs of units are distinguished from each other, while others are not. Pairs may in some cases be distinguished even though the units composing them are not.'
