Abstract
THE first edition of this now famous treatise appeared in 1939, and the review in Nature in the following year by Mr. M. G. Kendall gives a good account of the theory developed by Prof. Jeffreys. I shall therefore give here only a general comment on the point of view adopted in the work, while noting also some of the new features of the present edition.
Theory of Probability.
By Prof. Harold Jeffreys. (International Series of Monographs on Physics.) Second edition. Pp. viii+412. (Oxford: Clarendon Press; London: Oxford University Press, 1948.) 30s. net.
