AbstractThis paper compares one of the first applications of probability calculus to human testimony, a treatise which appeared in 1699 in the Philosophical Transactions, with Laplace's treatise of 1814 on the same subject, in order to emphasize the radical conceptual changes which occurred in the field of probability during the late 18th century. The choice of testimony is hardly fortuitous. In fact, this was the typical application of probability theory to “civil, moral and economic” issues. This topic loomed throughout the 18th century as the background to the most remarkable discussions and disputes. The two historical texts herein analyzed represent the extremes between the birth of probability calculus and its maturity. As is shown, L...
