Jon, List, JAS: Actually, [Peirce] wrote a long manuscript on the subject--over 18,000 words--intended as a chapter of *Minute Logic* and entitled, "Of the Classification of the Sciences. Second Paper. Of the Practical Sciences" (R 1343, 1902)
I would be very interested in reading your transcription and, so, will write you off List next week to remind you to send it to me (I'm having a medical procedure towards the end of the week and may find it difficult to concentrate over the next few days). I'm curious if you know of anything anywhere as extensive as this written by Peirce on the Science of Review.
