Scope and content

A folder which may originally have contained these notes is labelled in Skinner's hand 'Unedited Notes of Lectures by | Ludwig Wittgenstein | In Trinity College 1934 | The Notes were taken by Sydney George Francis Skinner and are | In his handwriting'. Some annotations in Wittgenstein's hand. Dates range from 'Wedn. Jan 17th' to 'Friday Feb. 23rd' [1934]; Gibson suggests that the section he transcribes under the title 'Visual Image in his Brain' dates from late 1933.
