For those who concern themselves with such matters, the 1973 edition of Sir Harold Jeffreys' "Scientific Inference" has just been reissued as a Cambridge paperback. Together with AFW Edwards' "Likelihood" this is good material for the finer aspects of inference I did only cursory touch in BMC chapter 7.
