Abstract
THE previous editions of the “Grammar of Science” were published in 1892, 1900 and 1911. They have been exhausted for a long time, but, whenever the question of a new issue was mentioned, Karl Pearson used to answer that the old text was out of date and that he was too busy with other work to undertake the necessary revision. It was never undertaken, and the present posthumous edition reproduces the chapters of the original one of 1892, using, however, their text as it was prepared for the edition of 1900.
