Preparation for new editions
Statistical Methods and Scientific Inference.
When a new book was released, Fisher usually had his publisher bind an interleafed copy with alternate printed text and blank pages so he could make notes for the succeeding edition.
Fisher’s own notes were used to prepare the editions published after his death.
On display:
- Statistical Methods and Scientific Inference. 2nd edition, revised (1959)
Some corrections have been rewritten in Alf Cornish’s handwriting. The 3rd edition was published in 1973
- The Design of Experiments. 7th edition (1960)
With corrections for the 8th edition (1966)
