Re: correcting citation for Peirce abduction

Thank you Mike
By going through the bibliographic chronology, using the date 1903 I had
identified the lectures as the possible source
But could not find the paper, so thanks a lot for the PDF, what a great
gift for everyone. Adding to the shelf.

Now that we are on the subject, let me point to another related paper
A k n o w l e d g e - l e v e l a c c o u n t of a b d u c t i o n
( p r e l i m i n a r y version) by Levesque
https://www.ijcai.org/Proceedings/89-2/Papers/034.pdf

It cites Peirce but without a reference

Thank you, best wishes

Paola
