<br> There are already two great collections of key texts of the history of modern logic and the foundations of mathematics available: J. van Heijenoort's book From Frege to G del and P. Benacerf's and H. Putnam's selected readings in Philosophy of Mathematics. The marvelous two-volume set under review complements these predecessors in a perfect way. --Mathematical Reviews<p><br> I cannot begin to express my admiration or appreciation for the work that has gone into making this wonderful collection. Our thanks to William Ewald for this invaluable source book should be unbounded...[E]very serious library should have a copy.
