Re: correcting citation for Peirce abduction

Hi Paolo,

This is from EP 2:216 (The Essential Peirce, Vol 2, in an article 
entitled the 'Nature of Meaning', which is drawn from MSS 314, 316 and 
published in CP 5.151-79 (in part)). It comes from Peirce's sixth 
Harvard lecture, delivered on 7 May 1903.

Your source paper is perhaps quoting directly from the manuscripts. In 
CP and EP 2, the wording is slightly different, which may be why you 
have had trouble finding the original citation.. Since most scholars 
would not have access to the manuscripts, you may want to quote directly 
from EP 2. You can obtain a PDF of EP 2 at 
https://old.tsu.ge/data/file_db/anthim/3.12.pdf, p 212 ff.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Best, Mike
