Perhaps start with:
E. T. Jaynes, Probability Theory: The Logic of Science, see:
http://www-lecb.ncifcrf.gov/~toms/jaynes.html
(things seems to have changed a little since I last downloaded it, but
you'll find it somewhere amongst the links in that page).
Ian Hacking, The Emergence of Probability, Cambridge University Press,
1975
Tom Lordeo, From Laplace to Supernova SN 1987A: Bayesian Inference in
Astrophysics, see:
http://astrosun.tn.cornell.edu/staff/loredo/bayes/tjl.html
Hope this helps,
Jon C.
