Excerpt from Remarks on Professor Boole's Mathematical Theory of the Laws of Thought

The extension of his method, by Professor Boole, to the theory of Probabilities, 1s a splendid effort of genius on the part of the author, and furnishes a most convincing illustration of the capabilities of the method. The part of the Investigation which is devoted to this subject, is much too abstruse to admit of being here more par ticularly considered; but, to show what the method can accomplish - though the bow of Ulysses perhaps needs the arm of Ulysses to bend it - we may simply state one of the problems of which Pro fossor Boole gives the solution. If an event can only happen as a consequence of one or more of certain causes, A,, A and if generally 0, represents the probability of the cause A and p, the probability that, if the cause A, exist, the event E will occur.
