Pierre-Simon Laplace (1749-1827) is remembered among probabilists today particularly for his Théorie analytique des probabilités, first published in 1812. The Essai philosophique sur les probabilités is his introduction for the second edition of this work. Here Laplace provided a popular exposition of his Théorie. The Essai, based on a lecture on probability given by Laplace in 1795, underwent sweeping changes, almost doubling in size, in the various editions published during Laplace's lifetime. Translations of various editions in different languages have appeared over the years. The only English translation of 1902 reads awkwardly today. This is a thorough and modern translation based on the recent re-issue, with its voluminous notes, of the fifth edition of 1825, with preface by René Thom and postscript by Bernard Bru. In the second part of the book, the reader is provided with an extensive commentary by the translator including valuable histographical and mathematical remarks and various proofs.
