How to do Things with Words. The William James Lectures
delivered at
Harvard University in 1955. Edited by J.O. Urmson and Marina
Sbisà. 2nd edition, reprinted with corrections and new index (by
P.H. Nidditch.)
Oxford & New York: Oxford
University Press, 1980.

Note to the 1980 impression:
"For this new impression P.H. Nidditch
has compiled a completely new index. He also supplied headings for the
lectures--as Austin himself did in editing H.W.B Joseph's lectures on the
philosophy of Leibniz (Oxford, 1949). And the opportunity has been taken
to make a number of small corrections."
