Classical Probability in the Enlightenment

"The reader feels like a twentieth-century observer set down to eavesdrop on erudite philosophical arguments on miracles and the problem of induction, and thence to wander through the streets of Europe observing lotteries, peeping inside assurance offices, and finally perhaps to witness a murderer fleeing the scene of his crime.... Although the Age of Reason may have turned out to be a disappointment to the probabilists of that age, Daston has provided us with an excellent history of their ideas."Daston, Lorraine is the author of 'Classical Probability in the Enlightenment' with ISBN 9780691006444 and ISBN 069100644X.
