I Presume That Few Who Have Paid Any Attention To The History Of The Mathematical Analysis, Will Doubt That It Has Been Developed In A Certain Order, Or That That Order Has Been, To A Great Extent, Necessary -- Being Determined, Either By Steps Of Logical Deduction, Or By The Successive Introduction Of New Ideas And Conceptions, When The Time For Their Evolution Had Arrived.

I Presume That Few Who Have Paid Any Attention To The History Of The Mathematical Analysis, Will Doubt That It Has Been Developed In A Certain Order, Or That That Order Has Been, To A Great Extent, Necessary -- Being Determined, Either By Steps Of Logical Deduction, Or By The Successive Introduction Of New Ideas And Conceptions, When The Time For Their Evolution Had Arrived.

Doubt

It Follows That The Word Probability, In Its Mathematical Acceptance, Has Reference To The State Of Our Knowledge Of The Circumstances Under Which An Event May Happen Or Fail. With The Degree Of Information We Possess Concerning The Circumstances Of An Event, The Reason We Have To Think That It Will Occur, Or, To Use A Single Term, Our Expectation Of It Will Vary. Probability Is The Expectation Founded Upon Partial Knowledge.
