{\bf \PMlinkescapetext{Definition} -} Let $X$ be a topological space and $\mathcal{B}$ be its \PMlinkname{Borel $\sigma$-algebra}{BorelSigmaAlgebra}. A {\bf Borel measure} on $X$ is a measure on the measurable space $(X,\mathcal{B})$.

{\bf Remark -} The \PMlinkname{restriction}{RestrictionOfAFunction} of the Lebesgue measure to the Borel $\sigma$-algebra of $\mathbb{R}^n$ is also sometimes called ``the'' Borel measure of $\mathbb{R}^n$.
