Abstract

(1) IT has been said that “Chance is the measure of our ignorance,” and if by this it is meant that any event, the causes of which we do not understand, is to be ascribed to chance, then chance is indeed a powerful factor in life; and many of our actions and policies are determined by our estimate of it. The mathematical theory is, of course, beyond the powers of the ordinary reader; no one, for instance, who had not received a special mathematical training could make much of the excellent article on “Probability” in the “Encyclopædia Britannica.” But there are general considerations and conclusions which lie apart from technical difficulties, and it is these that form the substance of this volume.
