Abstract
IN a preface to this work Sir William Collins, as chairman of the Chadwick Trust, explains that the volume is based upon a course of lectures delivered at Liverpool, under the auspices of that trust. Mr. Burn pays a high compliment to the present Registrar General on the improvements introduced by him into the annual reports of his department, and says that it is now for the first time “possible to discuss and analyse the enormous mass of statistics in a coherent and intelligent manner.”
