Recent acquisitions: manuscripts, typescripts and proofs by Sheila Turcon THIS LISTING COMPLEMENTS the one in Russell, n.s. 6, no. 2. Dur ing the preparation of that listing it was discovered that a number of items had never been reported in Russell. In addition, new items which arrived since that compilation have been included. We are again indebted to the generosity of the libraries and individuals who have made much of this collecting possible. The 89 items listed here bring the total to 387. The recent acquisitions ofmanuscripts, typescripts and proofs have now been thoroughly reported, but more acquisitions are imminent. The listing is chronological by time of composition or publication. Bracketed titles are supplied for documents that lack titles. Quoted passages in brackets are the first words of such documents. The Archi vist has supplied first publication details from his and Ruja's forthcom ing Bibliography of Russell's writings. Nicholas Griffin kindly identified the second item.
