Economics.- Gambling Probability.- De Moivre (Abraham) The Doctrine of Chances: or, a Method of Calculating the Probabilities of Events in Play, second edition, wood-engraved title-vignette, ornaments and initials, engraved head & tail-piece, tables, some full-page, with blank leaf at end of preliminaries, occasional spotting, hole to lower margin of O3, a few leaves slightly shorter at foot, contemporary calf, rubbed, label chipped, spine worn at head, [Kress 4395], 4to, by H. Woodfall, for the author, 1738. ⁂ Important work on probability by a friend of Newton's, greatly expanded from the first edition of 1718 which was dedicated to Newton. "The 1718 first edition is essentially a gambler's manual... It does not contain Moivre's work on the normal approximation of the binomial probability distribution, which ranks as the most memorable of his discoveries; this discovery was first printed in its entirety in 1733 in a Latin pamphlet, which was later translated into English and incorporated, in successively expanded versions, in the second (1738) and third (1756) editions." Norman.
