Abstract
THIS book is scarcely the philosophical treatise which its title may suggest. It is the written-up version of six lectures on probability and applications, as conceived from von Mises' special pragmatic and empirical point of view. The lectures, to each of which a chapter is devoted, are couched in popular and non-mathematical style, but have none of the faults of this style. The English translation is excellent.
