'George Boole (1815-1862), in his famous book on logic, Laws of Thought, published in 1854, developed a symbolism that today is called Boolean algebra. The simplest example of such an algebra is that obtained by applying to sets the operations of forming unions, intersections, and differences (or passage from a set to its complement). It is clear from this that the theory of measure, which can be developed even for sets of arbitrary elements, need not lose its significance even for rings of elements of a Boolean aglebra. Some ten years ago, I noticed that it is also possible to construct the analogue, on Boolean rings, of ordinary point functins, which makes possible the algebraizatin of the integral.'
