29. A Neglected Argument for the Reality of God |

Textual Notes

their Reality] The pronoun replaces the possessive lost when Peirce transposed parts of the sentence prior to submitting the manuscript as printer's copy. The P1166 restoration is required for clarity, and is emended into the present text. |
|
*435.25 |
|
objects; especially,] Here and at 436.29, 437.17, 441.5, and 444.18 the
Hibbert Journal's compositors mistook Peirce's semi-colon for one of the mid-line dots that Peirce used as word counters throughout the manuscript. These manuscript readings have been retained throughout. |
|
435.30 |
|
institution] One of Peirce's interlined word-count sub-totals obscured his opening "i" and probably led to a major error by the
Hibbardcompositors ("constitution" for "institution") that carried over into
CP, along with a second major misreading at 445.24 ("futility" for "utility"). |

CP) appear to be editorial styling, and are treated as rejected substantives in the present text: |

hypothesis] Peirce's heavy use of capitalization to privilege conceptual terms thoughout the article carried through from manuscript to print with no apparent editorial interference at all. In the manuscript, "hypothesis" appears in lower-case through 440.16 then in upper-case from 441.12 on. The wholesale revision of "hypothesis" to lower-case from here through the balance of the Hibbard Journaltest (444.36 was missed) was probably Peirce's work in galleys to reconcile the inconsistency. Peirce apparently upper-cased "Plausible" (443.30) and "Plausibility" (446.5) as well, but failed to restore "stage" (442.17) to the original upper-case reading, which is retained in the present edition. |

tested. This] Paragraphing introduced at this point in the journal text is the result of compositorial misreading of indentation caused by Peirce's invasive manuscript running headers. |

|
life.] The manuscript ends at this point; Peirce's name and address, pencilled into the manuscript by another hand, follows the last line of text. Correspondence indicates that Peirce supplied the final pages of copy (446.9-450.32) at the request of the editors, probably after proofs were pulled and returned to Peirce with the original setting copy. Peirce apparently retained the setting copy (MS 841), and returned the new closing copy with corrected proofs (neither form has been located, although a very preliminary draft of the "Additament" survives as Havard MS 844). Peirce's by-line and address (with Westfall substituted for Milford) was moved to the conclusion of the new material, though eventually emended out of the present edition. |
|
*446.8 |
|
Additament] The
Hibbard Journalused extra leading rather than a subtitle to separate Section V and Peirce's supplemental conclusion. To avoid ambiguity, Peirce's MS 844 draft supplement provides the subtitle in the present edition. |
