Abstract

THIS guide consists of three main parts: a numbered list of official publications that contain statistics; a subject-index, giving under each entry the list-number of each publication containing relevant statistics, and some indication of their nature; a key from which the converse may be discovered, namely, the kind of statistics found in each publication. This last is of undoubted value; but we cannot see why the same information should not be more cheaply and conveniently given by adding the page-numbers to which reference is made after each entry in the list of titles, and in saying this we speak from practical experience with a similar publication.

Guide to Current Official Statistics of the United Kingdom.
