Notes
[p. 124] "[This represents] one of the later forms in which Leibniz expressed his calculus universalis, the calculus for displaying the universal relations of scientific concepts, in which we recognize a first attempt at mathematical logic. The essay is of uncertain date, but was written after 1685, and was never published until Gerhardt brought it to light.
