 As a result, Cook Wilson resorted throughout his career to the printing for private circulation of pamphlets, known as Dictata, which he began revising for publication shortly before his death. Only 11 years later did the two volumes of Statement and Inference appear, in 1926, put together by Farquharson from his lecture notes and Dictata, along with some letters. These volumes are subdivided in five parts and 582 sections. Their arrangement, which is not Cook Wilson’s, betrays their origin in his lectures in logic and in the theory of knowledge; also interspersed are texts that originate from his study of and lectures on Plato and Aristotle. As the chronological table of the various sections shows (SI, 888–9), the texts thus assembled were written at different dates and, in light of Cook Wilson’s frequent change of mind (including his move away from idealism), they express views that are at times almost contradictory. This makes any study of his philosophy particularly difficult and, more often than not, accounts of his views are influenced by those, equally important, of his pupil H. A. Prichard.
