“…97-103) give a detailed description of Bienaymé's formulation and approach in modern notation and they note that a rigorous proof of the result was provided in the twentieth century by von Mises. 12 According to Daston (38), "[B]etween 1837 and 1843 at least six authors-Siméon-Denis Poisson, Bernard Bolzano, Robert Leslie Ellis, Jacob Friedrich Fries, John Stuart Mill, and [Antoine Augustine] Counot-approaching the topic as mathematicians, writing in French, German, and English, and apparently working independently made similar distinctions between the probabilities of things and the probabilities of our beliefs about things." This is the distinction between what we now call objective and subjective meanings of probability.…”

While Bayes' theorem has a 250-year history, and the method of inverse probability that flowed from it dominated statistical thinking into the twentieth century, the adjective "Bayesian" was not part of the statistical lexicon until relatively recently. This paper provides an overview of key Bayesian developments, beginning with Bayes' posthumously published 1763 paper and continuing up through approximately 1970, including the period of time when "Bayesian" emerged as the label of choice for those who advocated Bayesian methods.

Developments during and after the Second World War were crucial here (see Bamard and Plackett 1985); however, that history, in large measure, still remains to be written.…”
