Abstract

The article focuses on the celebration of the tercentenary of Welsh mathematician and moral philosopher Richard Price in 2023, organized by the Learned Society of Wales (LSW). The event included an international scholarly exchange featuring lectures on Price's contributions to science, politics, and philosophy, delivered by Iwan Morus and Patrick Spero. Additionally, Stephen S. Stigler contributed an essay on Price's advancements in statistical applications. This collection of essays underscores Price's significant impact on American cultural and political life, marking him as the first Welsh member of the American Philosophical Society, elected in 1785.
