One of the International Series of Monographs on Physics. 'Published in 1939, this book was the first to develop a fundamental theory of scientific inference based on the ideas of Bayesian statistics. Recent advances in computer power and availability have brought Bayesian statistics into the limelight and make this book a must for all serious statisticians' (blurb to a later Oxford University Press edition).
