A

PLEA FOR FURTHER INQUIRY.

By A. L. BOWLEY, M.A,

Author of ' Elements of Statistics,” &amp;¢.

Cr. 8vo, 2s. nef.

Daily Chronicle :—* This book constitutes far and away the
best unofficial analysis of statistics bearing on the fiscal
controversy. Mr. Bowley is much the most competent and
scientific of our unofficial statisticians, and, unlike the many
experts who have been entertaining us in the newspapers,
he is not only a trained statistician, but also a well-read economist
 who knows what is behind the figures he displays. . .
Mr. Bowley holds no brief for either side, and is rightly
emphatic on the limits of the data, especially for comparison
with foreign countries; but, as he remarks, so far as they go
they show a steady increase of prosperity, and the onus of proof
to the contrary lies on the challengers. Asa corrective to loose
and slipshod argument this book is invaluable."
