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.
From the nature of the subject-matter proposed to be treated, it will be at once perceived, that this paper is intended rather for the instruction of the student in this branch of mathematical analysis, than for the use of the proficient; and I claim for it no higher distinction.
