INTRODUCTION

I wish in this Introduction to explain to the reader what I
mean by Meaning and why I hold it to be not merely worth while making
a volume about, but a great and import all-important subject about in
which Lady Welby, perhaps, first broke ground in her book "What is
Meaning?" (New York: The Macmillan Co. 1903. pp. 321), which is here a little
further cultivated, an upon in which future writers will find a large field for (the??)
profitable a beneficent exercise of unlimited any amount of industry and genius. She calls the sic
subject "signifies", and I must, with a little regret, admit that that
name, though not beautiful, will answer as a designation; but it is a brand
of the great science of Logic, the theory of thought and thinking. I will now proceed to indicate
what place I would assign to it among the sciences.
