This philosophical essay is the development of a lecture on probabilities which I delivered in 1795 to the École Normale where I had been called, by a decree of the National Convention, as a professor of mathematics with Lagrange. I have recently published a work on the same topic entitled 'The analytical theory of probabilities'.
