The following problem was suggested by certain remarks in Mr. Buckle's introductory chapter to his History of Civilisation . In that chapter Mr. Buckle remarks upon the striking uniformity usually exhibited by classes of phenomena—such as not only births, deaths, marriages, but such things as those apparently depending upon mere caprice—such as the number of letters annually sent without directions through the Post-office, or those which appear likely to depend on the most capricious and irregular causes, such as murders and suicides; and he proceeds to draw certain moral conclusions from the fact of this uniformity, namely, the existence of certain moral laws, by which a section of the community, definite in number, is always impelled to such acts. But before entering upon a discussion of the legitimacy of such results, there appears to me always a previous question to be solved, namely, whether the observed degree of uniformity is remarkable or not. For supposing the observed uniformity to be not more than that which might be expected from events, the occurrence of which to individuals was conceived of as perfectly fortuitous, the whole argument would resolve itself into a pure metaphysical question, from which it would be hopeless to expect any practical issue.

That the difference is due to the greater amount of attention and of comforts the officer by his position is enabled to secure, appears from the facts relating to the siege of Gibraltar and the battle of Toulouse. At the former, officers were as favourably situated as it is possible to be during actual hostilities, except for a short time when there was a scarcity of provisions; and of 35 that were wounded, only 1 died—a mortality very little more than one third of that in the field. The battle of Toulouse was fought, immediately before the cessation of hostilities, close to a large city, which afforded ample accommodation for the wounded; and out of 117 officers brought to the hospitals there, only 3 died, being 1 in 39, or a less proportion than at Gibraltar.
