Thanks, R., for the heads-up about this book. Penny, who makes a habit of feeding books to all the other members of her family, will probably place a copy at my place at the table sometime in the next few weeks.
The Peirce’s were originally Dutch, I think, and their name was spelled “Pers”. In any case, that is how the name Peirce was pronounced, not in the German way which would have made it something like p[eye]rce. I don’t know Peirce’s love thing. I will have to look it up.
Where were you for the hurricane? I terrorized my entire extended family about it for a week, and once I had FINALLY overcome their resistance and got them to change their plans because of it, it went docilely out to sea. Nobody is speaking to me. As one my relatives observed riley to another , “Well, Nick was only off by 15 hundred miles.” Good for you that I forgot about you or you would have had your book on stilts and shipped to Worcester, all for nothing.
But do take care,
Nick

Subject: [FRIAM] ah, spelling
So this review was intriguing me, the sources of American Philosophy, excavated from the library of William Earnest Hocking, but subtitled "A Love Story" as is appropriate since it happens in New England.
But then Charles Sanders Peirce enters the story, only to become Pierce in the very next sentence. And now gmail wants to rewrite Peirce to Pierce, but google autocompletes to Peirce in all instances. Any way, evolutionary love is the answer.
