Book excerpt: Excerpt from Catalogue of the Library of the Statistical Society, 1884: With Preface and Regulations The Library of the Statistical Society, whose functions are to observe and record facts relating to the condition and progress of society, must needs be rich in works of a solid character, the writings of observers and statisticians of all times and countries. And the works it has accumulated, now numbering well nigh volumes, embody facts of a physical and vital, mental and moral, social and economical, commercial, industrial, and financial character, of great value, not only to the politician, the economist and the historian, but to every accurate writer and reasoner. A glance at the pages of this Catalogue will suffice to indicate how varied and thorough is the statistical information now collected, and with what vigour the science is pursued under the superintendence of the State, and still more by the labours of men of science. Whilst the Astronomer expands our knowledge of the meteorology and magnetism of the universe, and the Geographer explores for us unknown regions, and makes us acquainted with the habits and wants of distant races, the Statistician labours to evolve the principles of those sciences which govern alike the phenomena of the material universe and the practical problems of the law of probabilities, and subjects the real worth of economic doctrines to the close test of numbers, and to the great corrective of experience and facts.
