The paper is devoted to the discussion of the historical and theoretical meaningfulness of the distinction between `objective' and `subjective' probability. The author examines whether and how this appeared in the work of the mid-nineteenth-century British revisionist probabilists. A detailed analysis of the contributions of Augustus De Morgan, John Stuart Mill, George Boole, Robert Ellis and John Venn to probability is provided.
