page 168 note 1 The first formula results from simple substitution on ‘q. ⊃.p ν q’ and the second, in Lewis' notation written ‘p. ≺.q ν ∼ q’, is argued for in Lewis and Langford's Symbolic Logic, p. 251.

page 168 note 2 Moore sometimes surprised his friends with the unexpected. Some of us who enjoyed musical sessions with him expected him to have a strong preference for Bach as against such romantics as Schumann and Hugo Wolf, but it was just the other way round.

page 173 note 1 In one way or another the two so-called paradoxes of material implication, ‘q. ⊃.p ⊃ q’ and ‘ ∼ p.p ⊃ q’, tend to be represented as exhibiting astonishing properties of ‘if p, q’ rather than uninteresting properties of disjunction artificially freed from conditions of relevance.
