DESCRIPTION:The half-blind Victorian mathematician Augustus De Morgan was 
 a prodigious doodler\, whose letters are festooned with little drawings an
 d cartoons that reflect his feelings\, tell jokes\, or explain concepts di
 fficult to express in words. De Morgan also created a variety of more elab
 orate images in the privacy of his study. This paper will consider a detai
 led series of never-published logical images as reflections of a transcend
 ent vision that essentially grounded De Morgan's logical programme.\n\n_Th
 is replaces the seminar that was previously announced for 24 February._
