Inhaltsangabe

Excerpt from The Dictionary of Statistics

I have freely used the works of others, because there is no copyright in statistics, and because I expect others to use my works (as they do every day) without any recognition. If I were to append at the foot of each page the names of the authors consulted, it would swell the Dictionary to undue dimensions. I have, therefore, pre ferred to put before the Index, at the end, a list of the most useful works of reference on the principal subjects treated.

None but English weights, money, and measures are used, and in those countries where inconvertible paper-money was used for a time, or at present exists, the value is reduced to a gold equivalent.
