Excerpt from General Principles of the Method of Least Squares: With Applications

In order that this curve may represent exactly the distri bution of the errors in any given series of observations it ought to meet the axis of X at some definite distance to the right and left of the origin and coincide with the axis from there on, for in all actual observations there is a limit beyond which no errors occur. But as the exact point of meeting could not be determined for any given case, and as it would not be possible to obtain the equation of such a curve, we make it asymptotic to the axis of. X, taking care that the error thus introduced shall in any set of observations be so small as to be negligible.
