Extract

My object in the following paper is to give, in a few leading problems, a general and somewhat elementary view of the Theory of Probabilities, exhibiting the immediate dependence of the doctrine of Life Contingencies on the laws of probability and combination, and showing how apparently complicated problems, involving two and three lives, can be deduced directly from their very simplest and most elementary forms of expression.
