An inexpensive reprint of Laplace’s Essai philosophique (ref. 17 on p. 361) has been published by Gauthier-Villars ( Paris, 1921) in the series entitled ‘‘ Les maitres de la pensée scientifique.” Since the publication of the Seventh Edition, interest in statistical method has been evidenced by the issue of a rapidly increasin g number of books on the subject. Of those in the following list, the first five will all be found useful as supplementing the present volume. Pearl's work is specially intended for those interested in vital statistics, but will be useful also to others, Kelley’s book covers a great deal of ground not touched in the present volume and, though more critical discussion of some of the methods seems to me desirable, the student will find much that is not otherwise accessible in volume form. In the very useful handbook edited by H. L. Rietz, each chapter is written by a specialist ; chapters on Interpolation, Curve Fitting, and Periodogram Analysis, for example, all deal with matters not discussed in this Introduction. R. A. Fisher's Statistical Methods is a laboratory handbook rather than a text-book, and brings together in convenient form for the research worker the numerous special methods developed, mainly by himself, with especial reference to small samples. Whittaker and Robinson’s treatise is advanced and covers a wide field for statisticians and others. The little book by the late Professor Tschuprow the student may not find easy reading, but it deals with fundamentals, The remaining books on the list are of a somewhat more elementary character.
