Venn.— THE LOGIC OF CHANCE : An Essay on the Founda- 

 tions and Px-ovince of the Theory of Probability, with especial 

 reference to its apphcation to Moral and Social Science. By John 



Venn, M.A., Fellow of Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge. 

 Fcap. 8vo. ^s, 6d, 



This Essay ts in no sense mathematical. Probability, the author 

 thinks, may be considered to be a portion of the province of Logic 

 regarded fi'om the material point of view. The principal objects of 

 this Essay are to ascertain how great a portion it comprises, where 

 we are to draw the boundary between it and the contiguous branches 

 of the general science of evidence, what are the ultimate foundations 

 Upon zvhich its rtiles rest, what the nature of the evidence they are 

 capable of affording, and to what class of subjects they may most 

 fitly be applied. Tlie general design of the Essay, as a special 

 treatise on Probability, is quite original, the author believing that 

 erroneous notions as to the real nature of the subject are disastrously 

 prevalent, ^'Exceedingly well thought and well written,^^ says the 

 Westminster Review. The Nonconformist calls it a '^mastady
