Wittgenstein: “leave a dozen white sheets for the reader to swear into…”
Wittgenstein in a letter to Ogden, the eventual publisher of the Tractatus, May 5, 1922:
“Rather than print the Erganzungen [supplements] to make the book fatter leave a dozen white sheets for the reader to swear into when he has purchased the book and can’t understand it.”
