Ruggles, Delegate of the United States to the International Statistical Congress at the Hague, in 1869 The International Statistical Congress held at the Hague in Septem ber, 1869, was the seventh of the series of international assemblages of that denomination the first of which was held at Brussels in 1853; the second at Paris in 1855; the third at Vienna in 1857; the fourth at Lon don in 1860; the fifth at Berlin in 1863 the sixth at Florence in 1867, and the seventh at the Hague in 1869. For the better understanding of the character and action of this seventh congress, it will be necessary to consider it in connection with the six preceding congresses in the series, and also, to some extent, in comparison with certain international assemblages, in which several of the leading nations of Europe were represented, in the early portion of the present century. It is believed that the facts now presented for the purpose may be of service to the Government of the United States in considering the benefits of their participating in the future international congresses Of the series.
