The project is specifically aimed at: 1. Unlocking the pamphlet collection of the Fagel library, to see: 2. How contemporary knowledge of probability influenced the Fagel’s public role 3. How the Fagel’s dealt with political and economic crises 4. What we can learn from that in our tijdsgewricht During the first stage of this research project the Research Assistant (RA) would review many of the pamphlets (eighteenth century), and produce an overview of some of the more important volumes on probability theory and statistics in the collection. This report is a first outcome of this undertaking, and provides a bibliography of the books and articles on probability theory and statistics in the Fagel Collection of TCD Library, which can be found in the 1872 Printed Catalogue (Document 1), an overview of the available catalogues to investigate the pamphlets in the Fagel Collection (Document 2), descriptions of eighteenth century pamphlets, tracts, ordinances and lists with economic, political arithmetic and related subjects that can be found in volumes under lot 7593, 7594, 7596 of the Auction Catalogue (Document 3).
