Abstract
SIR BERNARD MALLET, whose death on October 28, at seventy-three years of age, we regret to record, was the son of Sir Louis Mallet, a distinguished civil servant. He first entered the Foreign Office, from which he was transferred to the Treasury. He became a commissioner of Inland Revenue in 1897 and Registrar General in 1909, from which post he retired in 1920. His chief assistant for many years was Dr. Stevenson, who did such admirable statistical work in connexion with inter alia the differential birth rate, labour which never received adequate reward from the Government in spite of the loyal advocacy of his chief. Sir Bernard was president of the Royal Statistical Society in 1916–18, where, as everywhere, his personal influence was most valuable. He was for long an official of the Political Economy Club, and at its dinners must have met every living economist of note. He wrote several books, including a continuing series on the British budgets.
