Scientific paper

THERE has been no doubt as to the author or authors of the ``Treatise on Probability,'' published under the superintendence of the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge, since 1844. In that year the ``Value of Annuities and Reversionary Payments,'' by David Jones, was issued in two volumes by Robert Baldwin, of 47, Paternoster Row, and the title-page states-``To which is appended a `Treatise on Probability,' by Sir John William Lubbock, Bart., F.R.S., and J. E. Drinkwater Bethune, Esq., A.M.'' Sir John Lubbock's name also appears on the opposite page, with his first Christian name properly affixed, and this is repeated at the end of the volume in a catalogue of the works published by that society. The treatise consists of 64 octavo pages, and was one of the best on the subject at the time it was first issued. The late Prof. De Morgan alludes to it in the English Cyclopædia, and Mr. Todhunter quotes ``Lubbock and Drinkwater'' no fewer than ten times in his ``History of Probability,'' published in 1865.
