Oxford: Basil Blackwell, 1958. ix, [1], [1], [1], 93 pp. 8vo. Printed 
green paper wrappers over white card stock (paperback). First 
edition, second impression.

First work by the great British philosopher, G. E. M. Anscombe 
(1919-2001) who studied under the Austrian-born British philosopher 
Ludwig Wittgenstein. J. M. Cameron in New Republic called her "simply 
the most distinguished, intellectually formidable, original, and 
troublesome philosopher in sight." This second impression, the first 
was published in 1957 based on lectures at Cornell, contains a few 
alterations from the original.

Wrappers darkened at the edges, small tears at spine ends, owner's 
signature to free endpaper, otherwise quite clean and crisp, and 
overall a very good copy of this scarce classic.   $200.00
