This important three volume set is a collection of Edgeworth's published writings in the areas of statistics and probability. There is a newly-emerging interest in probability theory as a basis for economic thought and this collection makes the writings of Edgeworth more accessible.A new introduction written by the editor covers the biographical details, a brief abstract of each of the articles and the basis of their selection is also included.

'The editor and the publisher have done well, I believe, in bringing so much of Edgeworth's work to renewed notice. Some of this work was originally published in very out-of-the-way locations. The editor deserves the thanks of the scholarly community for the thoroughness of his searches.'
