Abstract
MODERN statistical methods are now used in such widely different spheres of activity that it is natural that several books on the subject should be produced to meet the needs of the various persons concerned. It is of interest to notice that these books, being of the textbook variety, usually assume an air of certainty with regard to some things which are still almost within the region of controversy. This becomes the more obvious as the subject-matter becomes more advanced.
