"Legacy of Grice"

This is an old volume, which I have at the Swimming-Pool Library, ed. K. Hall, and I'm not to quote unnecessary material. But again, looking of historical references, I find it's good to rely on books which are devoted to one author -- in this case, Grice. So I rather read and re-read this book, and make annotations on it, and share -- rather than quote from various other sources.

For the record then, the list of contents:
