On 19 May 2001, Charlie Silver asked:

       <<    Could someone please supply a reference to a very pleasant
       paper by Henkin on the nature of mathematical induction (perhaps
       just on the natural numbers, I forget)?   I think it was in JSL.
       Thank you. >>

I suspect you are referring to L. Henkin's "On Mathematical Induction",
published in the American Mathematical Monthly, vol 67 (1960), 323-338.

Regards,

Julio Gonzalez Cabillon
