First edition of this in memoriam of John Venn, an offprint from the Caian magazine of Cambridge. Octavo, original wrappers, frontispiece of John Venn, volume 31, number 3. John Neville Keynes contributed two pages from “The Cambridge Review” to the end of the memoriam. John Neville Keynes (1852–1949) was an English economist and philosopher best known for his influential work in economic methodology, particularly The Scope and Method of Political Economy (1891), which helped clarify the distinction between positive and normative economics. A longtime administrator and lecturer at the University of Cambridge, he played a formative intellectual role in shaping the academic environment in which his son, economist John Maynard Keynes, developed, while also contributing independently to debates on logic, probability, and the philosophical foundations of economic science. In very good condition.
John Venn (1834–1923) was an English logician, philosopher, and mathematician best known for introducing the Venn diagram, a visual method for representing logical relationships between sets that remains foundational in logic, mathematics, and statistics. A fellow of Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge, Venn contributed significantly to the study of probability and logic, notably through works such as The Logic of Chance (1866), which helped formalize probabilistic reasoning.
