What reading level is A Treatise On Probability book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is usual to associate the subject with the names of Bacon, Hume, and Mill. In spite of the modern tendency to depreciate the first and the last of these, they are the principal names, I think, with which the history of induction ought to be associated. The next place is held by Laplace and Jevons. Amongst contemporary logicians there is an almost complete absence of constructive theory, and they content themselves for the most part with the easy task of criticising Mni, or with the more diff...icult one of following him.
That the inductive theories of Bacon and of Mill are full of errors and even of absurdities, is, of course, a commonplace of criticism. But when we ignore detaUs, it becomes clear that they were reaUy attempting to disentangle the essential issues. We depreciate them partly, perhaps, as a reaction from the view once held that they helped the progress of scientific discovery. For it is not plausible to suppose that Newton owed anything to Bacon, or Darwin to Mill. But with the logical problem their minds were truly occupied, and in the history of logical theory they should always be important.
