evidential samples are fair. Hence our attempt to understand the role of fair samples in induction will be of much help to comprehend the probability of inductive generalization. We have already noticed that the theories or laws established in science are basically generalizations. Further the theories or generalizations in every branch of science mutually support one another and make a coherent system. But in the early state of development of sciences the generalizations were considered as somewhat isolated
