[...] “Does he know his Greek and Latin authors well?,’ today one asks: ‘Is he good at mathematics? Is he familiar with the achievements of physics, of chemistry, of natural history, in short, of the positive sciences and those of observation?’ ”

[...] leader and to bring coherence and order into the thoughts thrown out by him, and whose whole intellectual careers were determind by his influence.

Page 135: par. 1: engineering

And yet how obvious it is to us now, even in this first formulation, that it is a delusion; that the idea is based on an extension of the scientific and enigneering technique far beyond the field to which they are appropriate.

  1. I found a great book on Elementary Lessons in Logic on mises.org
    http://mises.org/document/5228/
    It's only in PDF. I was wondering if you could work your magic on this masterpiece.

    1. The PDF scan is... horrible (look at all that artifacting around the letters).

      This one was one of the earliest books I tried to EPUB, and I took a look at the old OCR I had sitting around (it was.... horrible). So I will have to start from scratch.

      There are also TONS of greek letters (this will REALLY slow things down), and lots of illustrations/diagrams. I will see what I can do, but I can't guarantee anything. My time might be better spent on other books.

      There are a few other versions on Archive.org, I will have to take a close look. Maybe one of those scans are a little cleaner, so I will be able to go much more quickly (but still slow).
