The Collected Papers of Bertrand Russell, Volume 1

`The first volume contains a great deal of varied and interesting writing from Russell's first decade as an independent thinker … the great themes of God and freewill, immortality and conscience are rehearsed with charm and penetration … Russell shows an exuberant delight in ingenious reasoning, expressed in the fewest possible words and in the least encumbered way, that was to remain with him as a kind of trademark.' - Anthony Quinton, The Times
