Includes a reprint of John Arbuthnot's (spelled 'Arbuthnott' here) 'An argument for Divine Providence.' (1710). 'Arbuthnot continued his scientific work submitting a paper to the Royal Society in 1710 discussing the slight excess of male births over female births in the years from 1629 to 1710. This paper, published in the Philosophical Transactions, is perhaps the first application of probability to social statistics and includes the first formal test of significance. In this paper Arbuthnot claims to demonstrate that divine providence, not chance, governs the sex ratio at birth. . Shoesmith explores the controversy which arose from Arbuthnot's paper, looking at the positions taken by 'sGravesande and Nicolaus(I) Bernoulli in 1712 and Nieuwentijt in 1715' (MacTutor History of Mathematics Web site, citing E. Shoesmith, 'The continental controversy over Arbuthnot's argument for divine providence', Historia Math. 14 (2) (1987), 133-146).
