Peirce on Definition and Determination

Note 1

Peircers,

It looks like we might be due for one of our recurring reviews
on the closely related subjects of definition and determination,
with especial reference to what Peirce himself recurrently wrote
about them.

Here is a set of excerpts that I collected in regard to determination,
mostly from Peirce, but with a few thoughts from other thinkers, both
before and after him, due to the larger questions of determinacy that
I was pursuing at the time.

One naturally looks to the Baldwin and Century dictionaries for
Peirce-connected definitions of definition, but I would like to
start with a series of texts that I think are closer to Peirce's
own thoughts on definition, where he is not so duty-bound to give
a compendious account of every significant thinker's point of view.

It may be a while before I get these all copied out:
