XV. On the Theory of probabilities

This paper has for its object the investigation of the general analytical conditions of a method for the solution of questions in the Theory of Probabilities, which was published in a work entitled “ An Investigation of the Laws of Thought, &c.” The application of the method to particular problems has been illustrated in the work referred to, and more fully in a Memoir published in the Transactions of the Royal Society of Edinburgh, entitled “On the Application of the Theory of Probabilities to the Question of the Combination of Testimonies or Judgments.”
