' This work procured him the notice of [Jacques] Bernoulli. The rejoinder of George Cheyne was purely personal, and 

 de Moivre left it unnoticed.' Agnes M. Clerke. See No. 779 for the work which provoked it. 

 It is also noteworthy as an early work on Newton's fiuxionul calculus.

' His work on the theory of probability surpasses anything done by any other mathematician except Laplace. His 

 principal contributions are his investigations respecting the Duration of Play, his Theory of Recurring Series, and his 

 extension of the value of Bernoulli's theorem by the aid of Stirling's theorem.' Prof. Cajori. 



A very full account of the above third edition will be found in Todhunter's History of the. Theory of Probability (q.v. post).

' De Moivre's most important work. He demonstrated in it his method of recurring series, created ' imaginary trigono- 

 metry', through the invention of the theorem known by his name, and generalised Cotes's 'Theorem on the Property of 

 the Circle ' (p. 17). Naude's presentation of the book to the Berlin Academy of Sciences procured the election by acclama- 

 tion of its author as a member '. D. N. B.

Miss Moles worth was one of the earliest and most remarkable of those amateur observers whose labour of love 

 practically founded the science of meteorology in England. Carried on for over forty years at her place at Cobham in 

 Surrey, the observations amounted to over seventy-five thousand, which have been abstracted .with the greatest care by 

 Miss Ormerod.
