.. sorry for all the typos today. I do think we have a responsibility to try to
quote people accurately when we can. Here are the corrected passages:
"For more than one reason ... what I publish here will have points of contact
with what other people are writing today. -- If my remarks do not bear a stamp
which marks them as mine, -- I do not wish to lay any further claim to them as
my property." (Monk, 413) [first preface; dashes in original]
"I was obliged to learn that my results (which I had communicated in lectures,
typescripts and discussions), variously misunderstood, more or less angled or
watered down, were in circulation. This stung my vanity and I had difficulty in
quieting it." (Monk, 413) [later preface]
[Note: he nonetheless shelves the publication of PI. This is the 1939 draft.]
