| The thing about a lot of these classic papers is that they are
| often not very easy to digest compared with modern retellings of
| their subject matter. They typically represent the genesis of an
| idea that became influential and has since been popularized.
|
| Even if the paper's authors are gifted writers (which isn't
| common), these papers represent early iterations of the
| presentation of an idea. Later, people who specialize in writing
| will come along and refine the presentation.

| "The True Method (1677)" hidden behind a paywall.

| The classics should be available outside of scihub!
|
| For example, Prior Analytics
| http://classics.mit.edu/Aristotle/prior.html
|
| Most famous papers are available via Google scholar!

| I'd also wager that, like the book these come from, the PDFs

| others for fitting into the book itself) versions of the
| papers. If you use a search engine and find the actual papers,
| you can find the unedited versions.
