Excerpt from Elements of Vital Statistics
In various 'parts of the book will be found critical observations on commonly employed statistical methods, and discussions of problems of public health which lend them selves to statistical treatment. These, it is hoped, will increase the interest and value of the book, and lead to local investigations of disease on similar lines. In a work involving such a mass of statistics it cannot be expected that no errors have crept in. It is believed, however, that these are very few. The author will be grateful for an intimation as to any such errors that may be detected. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
