Abstract: In the Theory of Political Economy Jevons proposed a numerical equation which would conform to the King-Davenant's figures. The equation contained three par-ameters, of which the values Jevons did not disclose how he had determined. Two kinds of evidence, texts and replications, are presented to contend that Jevons con-ducted a non-systematic search for what would minimize the sum of squared errors.
