Review text

The first part of this article contains tables of signs in some ancient languages for general words and phrases and for integers and arithmetical operations. The second part notes a few aspects of `formal logic', including Post coding, recursion, the \(\lambda\)-calculus and the Turing machine. Finally the author gives a few remarks on linguistics and the `formal description of biologicl systems' (where the pioneering efforts of the 1930s by J. H. Woodger could have been cited).
