Description
Not recommended for publication in the 'Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society'. The paper has two parts, is no apparent connection between them. Refers to work by George Boole. Suggests the paper be printed in the Proceedings. Considers the work fragmentary and disconnected, but might in time coalesce into a comprehensive theory.
