ABSTRACT

De Moivre’s Miscellanea Analytica appeared in 1730.1 The only known advertisement for its availability on publication is in the May 1730 issue of The Present State of the Republic of Letters.2 The book was sold by subscription with De Moivre controlling the distribution of the copies. This situation is the same as the first edition of Doctrine of Chances. The difference is that the subscription list to Miscellanea Analytica was published with the book.
