  The book A Treatise on Probability was published by John Maynard Keynes in
1921. It contains a critical assessment of the foundations of probability and
of the current statistical methodology. As a modern reader, we review here the
aspects that are most related with statistics, avoiding a neophyte's
perspective on the philosophical issues. In particular, the book is quite
critical of the Bayesian approach and we examine the arguments provided by
Keynes, as well as the alternative he proposes. This review does not subsume
the scholarly study of Aldrich (2008a) relating Keynes with the statistics
community of the time.
