• 1. Fundamental notions ; 2. Direct probabilities ; 3. Estimation problems ; 4. Approximate methods and simplifications ; 5. Significance tests: one new parameter ; 6. Significance tests: various complications ; 7. Frequency definitions and direct methods ; 8. General questions

Though mathematically very demanding, the principles and examples are clear enough, and Jeffreys' trenchant references to critics of Bayesian methods often made me laugh out loud - an unusual experience with an advanced statistics text. Its selection as an Oxford Classic Text is unusual but well judged.
