First and only edition of this rare work on mathematics and probability. Little is recorded about Parisot, and RBH records only one copy of this 1810 work at Anderson Galleries in 1916. Here the author examines the probability theories of other mathematicians before discussing his own. The first part treats pure mathematics and game theory, with applications to cards, tokens, tickets, and random numbers; the second deals with other games of chance, including roulette and the lottery; in the third part Parisot applies probability theory to the political economy and commercial transactions.
Quarto (245 x 190mm).Half-title, two folding engraved plates at rear, errata leaf (occasional minor foxing). Contemporary calf (worn, joints cracked). Provenance: E Wohmeringer (ownership inscription to title page).
