Russell's theory of denoting in Principles (1903) was rejected by his theory of descriptions in "On Denoting" (1905). But the notion of denoting itself was not rejected. It is used even in Principia (1910). In this essay we shall determine what has been removed by the theory in "On Denoting", and what is preserved by it. In order to do so, we must investigate the early Russell's manuscripts, and grasp Russell's view of functions, which was framed out of the principles of dependent and independent variables, and the theory of denoting. Then we can solve the entanglement concerning the notion of denoting.
