THEORY OF STATISTICS. (5) GABAGLIO, ANTONIO, Teoria generale della statistica, 2 vols.; Hoepli, Milano, 2nd edn., 1888. (Vol. i, Parte storica.) Several works on theory of statistics include short histories, e.g. H. Westergaard’s Die Grundziige der Theorie der Statistik (Fischer, Jena, 1890), and P. A. Meitzen’s Geschichte, Theorie und Technik der Statistik (new edn., 1903 ; American translation by R. P. Falkner, 1891). There is no detailed history in English, but the article ‘“ Statistics” in the Encyclopeedio Britannica (11th edn.) gives a very slight sketch, and the biographical articles in Palgrave’s Dictionary of Political Economy are useful. For its importance as regards the English school of political arithmetic, reference may also be made to— (6) HuLy, OC. H., The Economic Writings of Sir William Petty, together with the Observations on the Bills of Mortality more probably by Captain John Qraunt, Cambridge University Press, 2 vols., 1899. History of Theory of Statistics. Somewhat slight information is given in the general works cited. From the purely mathematical side the following is important: — (7) ToopHUNTER, I., 4 History of the Mathematical Theory of Probability from the time of Pascal to that of Laplace ; Macmillan, 1865. History of Official Statistics. (8) BERTILLON, J., Cours élémentaire de statistique; Société d’éditions scientifiques, 1895. (Gives an exceedingly useful outline of the history of official statistics in different countries.) 6
