Thanks for citing that passage. It reminded me of the value of checking Peirce's sources and contemporaries in order to understand the context of his writings. I found the book at https://ia601408.us.archive.org/12/items/principlesempir00venngoog/principlesempir00venngoog.pdf Venn's book was published in 1889.

But that period also included a disruption in his life that was far more significant: becoming unemployed. John
