  PREFACE 
  This book is an outgrowth of lectures on the theory of probability 
  which the author has given at Stanford University for a number of 
  years. 
  At first a short mimeographed text covering only the elementary 
  parts of the subject was used for the guidance of students. 
  As time 
  went on and the scope of the course was gradually enlarged, the necessity 
  arose of putting into the hands of students a more elaborate exposition 
  of the most important parts of the theory of probability. 
  Accordingly
