Abstract
THIS book reviews recent American developments in the application of sampling to the collection of economic and demographic statistics. It is divided into two parts : the development of the mathematical theory, and the applications which have been made in recent years. On the practical side, chapters are devoted to the sampling methods applied to the 1940 Population Census, the methods adopted in the construction of monthly labour statistics, and the development of sampling methods, including the master sample, in agricultural statistics. On the theoretical side, an endeavour is made to cover the whole of the modern developments of sampling theory.
