About the journal
This journal contains articles, notes and book reviews dealing with the history and philosophy of logic. 'Logic' is understood to be any volume of knowledge which was regarded as logic at the time in question. 'History' refers back to ancient times and also to work in this century; however, the Editor will not accept articles, including review articles, on very recent work on a topic. 'Philosophy' refers to broad and general questions: specialist articles which are now classed as 'philosophical logic' will not be published. The Editor will consider articles on the relationship between logic and other branches of knowledge, but the component of logic must be substantial. Topics with no temporal specification are to be interpreted both historically and philosophically. Each topic includes its own metalogic where appropriate.

About Taylor & Francis
The foundations of Taylor & Francis were laid in pioneering fashion in 1798. Richard Taylor printed and launched the Philosophical Magazine, one of the first scientific journals published by an independent company.
It was the start of a close collaboration with scholarly societies which was cultivated throughout the 1880s. The company became the printer for the Royal Astronomical Society, the Geological Society, the Zoological Society, the Horticultural Society, the Royal Botanical Society, the British Association for the Advancement of Science, the Royal Society and the Linnean Society of London. With the proliferation of periodicals and information generated by learned societies at the turn of the century, Taylor & Francis also became pioneers in the field of abstracting journals, and in 1890 the company became the first printer of Science Abstracts the precursor of today's Physics Abstracts.
Book publishing was a mostly secondary concern for the company until the 1960s, when significant expansion was implemented at all levels from schoolbooks to high level monographs. Since then the focus of book publishing has been predominantly at the undergraduate level and above, with an ever larger number of subject areas brought into the programme.
The principles which drove the founders of Taylor and Francis are still paramount today. Academic scholarship must be of the highest quality which will be reflected in appropriate production practices and values. We hope that we remain true to those principles and that being a Taylor & Francis author is still a pleasant, profitable and proud experience.

Notes on style
All authors are asked to take account of the diverse audience of History and Philosophy of Logic. Clearly explain -- or avoid the use of -- terms that might be meaningful only to a local or national audience. However, note also that History and Philosophy of Logic does not aspire to be international in the ways that McDonald抯 restaurants or Hilton Hotels are international; we much prefer papers that, where appropriate, reflect the particularities of each social and cultural system.
Some specific points of style for the text of articles, essay reviews and reviews follow:
1. We prefer US to 慉merican? USA to 慤nited States? and UK to 慤nited Kingdom?
2. Single 憅uotes?are used for quotations rather than double "quotes", unless the 憅uote is "within" another quote?
3. Punctuation should follow the British style, e.g. 憅uotes precede punctuation?
4. Punctuation of common abbreviations should follow the following conventions: e.g. i.e. cf. Note that such abbreviations are not followed by a comma or a (double) point/period.
5. Dashes (M-dash) should be clearly indicated in manuscripts by way of either a clear dash (? or a triple hyphen (---) (N-dash) should be indicated by a clear dash (? or a double hyphen (--).
6. We are sparing in our use of the upper case in headings and references, e.g. only the first word in paper titles and all subheads is in upper case; titles of papers from journals in the references and other places are not in upper case.
7. Apostrophes should be used sparingly. Thus, decades should be referred to as follows: 慣he 1980s [not the 1980抯] saw ...? Possessives associated with acronyms (e.g. PA), should be written as follows: 慣he APU抯 findings that ...? but, NB, the plural is APUs.
8. All acronyms for national agencies, examinations, etc., should be spelled out the first time they are introduced in text or references. Thereafter the acronym can be used if appropriate, e.g. 慣he work of the Assessment of Performance Unit (APU) in the early 1980s ...? Subsequently, 慣he APU studies of achievement ...? in a reference ... (Department of Education and Science [DES] 1989a).
9. Brief biographical details of significant national figures should be outlined in the text unless it is quite clear that the person concerned would be known internationally. Some suggested editorial emendations to a 憈ypical?text are indicated in the following with square brackets: 慒rom the time of H. E. Armstrong [in the 19th century] to the curriculum development work associated with the Nuffield Foundation [in the 1960s], there has been a shift from heurism to constructivism in the design of [British] science courses?
10. The preferred local (national) usage for ethnic and other minorities should be used in all papers. For the USA, 慉frican-American? 慔ispanic?and 慛ative American?are used, e.g. 慣he African American presidential candidate, Jesse Jackson...? for the UK, 慉fro-Caribbean?(not 慦est Indian?, etc.
11. Material to be emphasized (italicized in the printed version) should be underlined in the typescript rather than italicized. Please use such emphasis sparingly.
12. When using a word which is or is asserted to be a proprietary term or trade mark authors?must use the symbol ?or TM or alternatively a footnote can be inserted using the wording below:
This article includes a word which is or is asserted to be a proprietary term or trade mark. Its inclusion does not imply it has acquired for legal purposes a non-proprietary or general significance, nor is any other judgement implied concerning its legal status.
Notes on tables and figures
Artwork submitted for publication will not be returned and will be destroyed after publication, unless you request otherwise. Whilst every care is taken of artwork, neither the Editor nor Taylor & Francis shall bear any responsibility or liability for non-return, loss, or damage of artwork, nor for any associated costs or compensation. You are strongly advised to insure appropriately.
1. Tables and figures should be valuable, relevant, and visually attractive. Tables and figures must be referred to in the text and numbered in order of their appearance. Each table and figure should have a complete, descriptive title; and each table column an appropriate heading.
Tables and figures should be referred to in text as follows: figure 1, table 1, i.e. lower case. 慉s seen in table [or figure] 1 ...?(not Tab., fig. or Fig).
2. The place at which a table or figure is to be inserted in the printed text should be indicated clearly on a manuscript:
[Insert table 2 about here ]
3. Each table and/or figure must have a title that explains its purpose without reference to the text.
4. All figures and tables must be on separate sheets and not embedded in the text. Original copies of figures should be supplied. All figures should allow for reduction to page width (125mm). Please avoid figures that would require landscape reproduction, i.e., reading from bottom to top of the page. Photographs may be sent as glossy prints or negatives.
Please number each figure on the reverse in pencil.
Do not type the caption to a figure on that figure; the legends to any illustrations must be typed separately following the main text and should be grouped together.
Mathematics
Special care should be taken with mathematical scripts, especially subscripts and superscripts and differentiation between the letter 'ell' and the figure one, and the letter 'oh 'and the figure zero. If your keyboard does not have the characters you need, it is preferable to use longhand, in which case it is important to differentiate between capital and small letters, K, k and x and other similar groups of letters. Special symbols should be highlighted in the text and explained in the margin. In some cases it is helpful to supply annotated lists of symbols for the guidance of the sub-editor and the typesetter, and/or a 慛omenclature?section preceding the 慖ntroduction?
For simple fractions in the text, the solidus / should be used instead of a horizontal line, care being taken to insert parentheses where necessary to avoid ambiguity, for example, I /(n-1). Exceptions are the proper fractions available as single type on a keyboard.
Full formulae or equations should be displayed, that is, written on a separate line. Horizontal lines are preferable to solidi.
The solidus is not generally used for units: ms - 1 not m/s, but note electrons/s, counts/channel, etc.
Displayed equations referred to in the text should be numbered serially (1, 2, etc.) on the right hand side of the page. Short expressions not referred to by any number will usually be incorporated in the text.
Symbols should not be underlined to indicate fonts except for tensors, vectors and matrices, which are indicated with a wavy line in the manuscript (not with a straight arrow or arrow above) and rendered in heavy type in print: upright sans serif r (tensor), sloping serif r (vector) upright serif r (matrix).
Typographical requirements must be clearly indicated at their first occurrence, e.g. Greek, Roman, script, sans serif, bold, italic. Authors will be charged for corrections at proof stage resulting from a failure to do so.
Braces, brackets and parentheses are used in the order {[( )]}, except where mathematical convention dictates otherwise (i.e. square brackets for commutators and anticommutators)
Acknowledgements
Any acknowledgements authors wish to make should be included in a separate headed section at the end of the manuscript. Please do not incorporate these into the bionote or notes.

2. Page references within reviews should be given as follows: (p. 337) or (pp. 36?7).
Footnotes and references
Footnotes are to be numbered consecutively, with superscript numerals placed outside the punctuation, thus:..... Newton agreed. 27
Complete page references for a paper should always be given, and then the specific page if necessary. Titles of journals should not be abbreviated.
Cross references in notes to works already cited, or to points made in previous notes or their text, should be made by note number, for example: 慗. Smith (note 11), 223? or 慳s indicated in note 14....? Cross-references in the text should be to section or sub-section numbers.
Citations in the text consist of the author's name (unless clear from the context) followed by the year of publication, both in italics.
