This text is an extract from a book discussing the classification of statistics. The author believes that the vast and constantly increasing collection of statistical information requires a fundamental scientific idea to introduce uniformity, and proposes a classification based on the idea of the human organism. The author argues that the field of history might at first sight seem coextensive with that of statistics, and both might seem to extend to all the sciences, but the scope of statistics and history becomes restrained, and they can be distinguished according to the criteria proposed. The author believes that a classification of social statistics is needed, and it should be natural, not artificial; must be capable of complete specialization, so as to include the minutest details, and capable, too, of the widest generalization; it must be universal in application, and it must be, as far as possible, simple of understanding, and convenient in use. The author believes that biology is the only science that has successfully classified phenomena in this way, and proposes using its methods as a model for classifying social statistics. The author presents a series of tables that classify statistical information according to various criteria, and argues that this system of classification will allow for a more comprehensive and scientific understanding of social phenomena.
