In his essay on 'Broad on Induction and Probability' (first
published in 1959, reprinted in this volume), Professor G. H. von
Wright writes: "If Broad's writings on induction have remained less
known than some of his other contributions to philosophy . . ., one
reason for this is that Broad never has published a book on the
subject. It is very much to be hoped that, for the benefit of
future students, Broad's chief papers on induction and probability
will be collected in a single volume . . . . " The present volume
attempts to perform this service to future students of induction
and probability. The suggestion of publishing a volume of this kind
in Synthese Library was first made by Professor Donald Davidson,
one of the editors of the Library, and was partly prompted by
Professor von Wright's statement. In carrying out this suggestion,
the editors of Synthese Library have had the generous support of
Professor Broad who has among other things supplied a new Addendum
to 'The Principles of Problematic Induction' and corrected a number
of misprints found in the first printings of this paper. The
editors gratefully acknow ledge Professor Broad's help and
encouragement. A bibliography of Professor Broad's writings (up to
1959) has been compiled by Dr. C. Lewy and has appeared in P. A.
Schilpp, editor, The Philosophy of C. D. Broad (The Library of
Living Philosophers), pp. 833-852."
