Excerpt from The Mathematical Theory of Probabilities and Its Application to Frequency Curves and Statistical Methods, Vol. 1

Probability has long ago ceased to be a mere theory of games of chance and is everywhere, especially on the continent, regarded as one of the most important branches of applied mathematics. This is proven by the increasing number of standard text-books in French, German, Italian, Scandinavian and Russian which have appeared during the last ten years. During this time the research work in the theory of probabilities has received a new impetus through the labors of the English biometricians under the leader ship of Pearson, the Scandinavian statisticians Westergaard, Charlier and Kiwr, the German statistical school under Lexis, and the brilliant investigations of the Russian school of statisticians.

Each group of these investigations seems, however, to have moved along its own particular lines. The English schools have mostly limited their investigations to the field of biology as pub lished in the extensive memoirs in the highly specialized journal, Biometrika. The Scandinavian scholars have produced researches of a more general character, but most of these researches are un fortunately contained in Scandinavian scientific journals and are for this reason out of reach to the great majority of readers who are not familiar with any of the allied Scandinavian languages. This applies in a still greater degree to the Russians. German scholars of the Lexis school have also contributed important memoirs, but strangely enough their researches are little known in this country or.in England, a fact which is emphasized through the belated English discussion on the theory of dispersion as devel oped by Lexis and his disciples. The same can also be said with regard to the Italian statisticians.
