Glad to be of service! In the meantime, you might review Peirce's
extensive discussion of "natural classes" and "natural classification"
at CP 1.203-231.

Jon

Fantastic, Jon. That would be most helpful, especially since that
is "new" information.

As it happens, I am currently in the process of reading and
transcribing R 1343, "Of the Classification of the Sciences,
Second Paper, Of the Practical Sciences," once again thanks to
the SPIN project
(http://fromthepage.com/collection/show?collection_id=16
<http://fromthepage.com/collection/show?collection_id=16>). So
far, about 40 pages into it, it presents instead a classification
of instincts; but if I remember right, it also includes some
discussion about principles of classification. I do not have my
in-progress transcription with me at the office, but if I get a
chance this evening, I will review it and post anything relevant
that I find.

Hi List,
Ben Udell recently quoted from this Peirce memoir:
MEMOIR 27: OF METHODEUTIC
[....]
From Draft B - MS L75.279-280
[....] Two other problems of methodeutic which the old
logics usually made almost its only business are, first,
the principles of definition, and of rendering ideas
clear; and second, the principles of classification.
[End quote]
I have only found spotty references by Peirce to the
"principles of classification" in my own online resources.
Would anyone on the list care (Edwina ? :) ) to provide any
of their own known citations?
Thanks in advance,
Mike
