About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed.

Among French works the TraiU Elementaire du Calcul des Probability, by S. F.

Poisson's Becherches sur la Probability des Jugements (Paris 1837), commence with an admirable investigation of the grounds and methods of the theory. While Laplace's great Theorie Analytique des Probability is of course the "Principia" of the subject; his Essai Philosophique sur les Probability is a popular discourse, and is one of the most profound and interesting essays ever published. It should be familiar to every student of logical method, and has lost little or none of its importance by lapse of time. 1 The Logic of Chance, an Essay on the Foundations and Province of the Theory of...
