He translated Huygens ' tract on probability in 1692 and extended it by adding to it a few further games of chance. This was the first work on probability published in English. Arbuthnot went to London and gave lessons in mathematics. Around this time (1700) he published Essay towards a natural history of the Earth and Essay on the usefulness of mathematical learning. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1704. In 1705 he was appointed physician to Queen Anne. He continued his scientific work submitting a paper to the Royal Society in 1710 discussing the slight excess of male births over female births. This paper is perhaps the first application of probability to social statistics. In this paper he claims to demonstrate that divine providence, not chance, governs the sex ratio at birth. Arbuthnot's main fame is on his reputation as a wit and on his satirical writings. With Alexander Pope, Jonathan Swift, John Gay and Thomas Parnell he founded the Scriblerus Club in 1714, whose purpose was to satirise bad poetry and pedantry. The club was short-lived.

JOHN found daily fresh proofs of the infidelity and bad designs of his deceased wife; amongst other things, one day looking over his cabinet, he found the following paper: "It is evident that matrimony is founded upon an original contract, whereby the wife makes over the right she has by the law of Nature in favor of the husband, by which he acquires the property of all her posterity. But, then, the obligation is mutual; and where the contract is broken on one side it ceases to bind on the other. Where there is a right there must be a power to maintain it and to punish the offending party. This power I affirm to be that original right, or rather that indispensable duty lodged in all wives in the cases above-mentioned. No wife is bound by any law to which herself has not consented. All economical government is lodged originally in the husband and wife, the executive part being in the husband; both have their privileges secured to them by law and reason; but will any man infer from the husband being invested with the executive power, that the wife is deprived of her share, and that she has no remedy left but

Biographical Information Occupation, Sphere of Activity John Arbuthnot ( ), physician to Queen Anne ( ), was educated at Marischal College, Aberdeen and took his degree in Medicine at the University of St Andrews. Better known for his political satire and statistical analysis, he taught mathematics in London for a while, until he had the good fortune to be present when Prince George of Denmark ( ) fell ill. Arbuthnot's treatment cured the prince, and he was taken on in as physician extraordinary to Queen Anne. In , he became physician in ordinary to the monarch. Arbuthnot's first paper to the Royal Society was a statistical study of demographics. He also translated a work by Huygens ( ) about probability. Arbuthnot was at Queen Anne's bedside when she died, and under the new regime, Arbuthnot fell out of favour and ceased to be a courtier. Arbuthnot's paper, presented at the Royal Society in , is worth a closer look, for though it is crude, and far from conclusive; it is the first known example of statistical inference. In this paper, An Argument for Divine Providence, Taken From the Constant Regularity Observ'd in the Births of Both Sexes
