When M. Nicolas Bernoulli, nephew of the celebrated Jacques and Jean Bernoulli, defended in Basel, in 1709 his thesis for Doctor of Laws; as he was a great geometer, as well as jurisconsult, he did not forbid himself to choose a matter which admits of the geometry.
He took therefore for subject of his thesis de usu artis conjectandi in Jure, that is to say, On the application of the calculus of probabilities to the matters of Jurisprudence, and the third chapter of this thesis treats of times where an absentee must be reputed for dead.
I have chosen here the table of M. Deparcieux, and I have preferred it to the one which M. Bernoulli seems to have used, satisfying myself to apply here his reasoning: but I believe our calculation too strong on this occasion in a certain consideration, and too feeble to another; because 1.

The inspiration of the latter, says Mossotti in the introduction to his paper, comes from a memoire by Jean and Jacques Bernoulli, Usage et Théorie d'une Machine qu'on peut nommer Instrument Ballistique.
The goal of Mossotti's paper is to supply to some theoretical imperfections in the Bernoulli's memoire.
His contributions to the problem must have been significant and very original, as some Italian scientists wrote to Carlini after reading Mossotti's paper asking for explanations
