Conspectus of Hegel’s book “The Science
of Logic” consists of three notebooks, which have a common pagination
from 1 to 115. On the cover of the first notebook, in addition to the inscription
"Hegel. Logic I," there is the entry: “Notebooks on Philosophy. Hegel,
Feuerbach and others.” On the cover of the second notebook, to the pagination
49-88, there is the appendage: NB p. 76 (pp. 192-193 of this volume). At the bottom
of page III, there is written: "End of Logic. 17.XII.1914.” The
conspectus was probably begun during the first half of September 1914, when Lenin
moved from Poronin to Bern, Switzerland.
Note that this document has undergone special formating to ensure that Lenin’s
sidenotes fit on the page, marking as best as possible where they were
located in the original manuscript.
