Computing.- Boole (George) The Mathematical Analysis of Logic, first edition, 6-line errata slip tipped in after preface, some minor spotting, some pencil annotations, original printed yellow wrappers, spine ends chipped, upper corner torn, [Tomash & Williams B199; Origins of Cyberspace 223], 8vo, Cambridge & London, 1847.
*** Rare and important work. We have been unable to trace any copy at auction in the original wrappers.
"This was Boole's first work of logic, in the introduction to which he first refuted W. Hamilton's claim that logic was a part of philosophy and that no mathematician could possibly contribute anything to this field. It was this volume that began the revolution that led to the development of mathematical logic. In recent times, Boolean logic has found widespread use in the design of digital computers and communications systems" (Tomash & Williams).
