Jevons (William Stanley) The Principles of Science, A Treatise on Logic and Scientific Method, 2 vol., first edition, frontispiece, occasional foxing or marginal browning, vol. 1 upper hinge broken and lacking front free endpaper, vol. 2 upper hinge starting and with portion of front free endpaper torn away, contemporary ink ownership inscriptions, bookplate, original red-brown cloth, spine ends and corners bumped and worn, splitting to joints, rubbed, preserved in custom drop-back boxes, [Tomash & Williams J17], 8vo, 1874. ⁂ Rare, especially so in the original cloth. "This is Jevons' major work. It contains all his advances to the development of logic set in the framework of the philosophy of science. He insisted that absolute certainty of observation is impossible for a human, and thus all logical deductions from laboratory experiments must be considered true only within a certain probability. He was an early explorer of the methodology of measurement and associated errors." - Tomash & Williams.
