BOOLE, GEORGE. 1815-1864.
An Investigation of The Laws of Thought on which are founded the Mathematical Theories of Logic and Probabilities. London/Cambridge: Walton and Maberly/Macmillan & Co, 1854.
8vo. "Note" and Errata leaves bound after contents, L2 and Q8 cancelled as usual, 20 pp of (later) advertisements at rear. Publisher's cloth, rebacked with original spine laid-down, endpapers renewed.
FIRST EDITION OF AN IMPORTANT WORK IN THE HISTORY OF COMPUTING, the first full expression of a practical system of algebraic logic (i.e., "Boolean logic"), likely the second issue with errata bound after the last numbered prelim. "Boole invented the first practical system of logic in algebraic form, which enabled more advances in logic to be made in the decades of the nineteenth century than in the twenty-two centuries preceding" (Norman 266). In 1937, Claude Shannon would recognize that Boole's true/false values were analogous to the open and closed states of electric circuits, opening the door for binary computing. Norman 266. Hook & Norman Origins of Cyberspace 224.
