A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

On Town Beauty. Bv the Very lev. Dr. L. C. Casartelli, President. Read November 23rd, 1898. I. In submitting this essay to the Society, I cannot but feel conscious of the very large claim it must make upon the indulgence and patience of the members, on account of both the subject with which it deals and the manner of treatment adopted. The impartial critic will very likely feel constrained to say that a large dose of good-will is necessary to make it pass muster in the proceedings of a Society whose very title shows it to be above all things statistical. Shall I be too daring if I venture to seize upon that blessed word Statistics itself, and, claiming for it a breadth and expansion comparable to that of Mesoputamia, seek therein some justification for presenting svich an address? If I seek support from the philologists, I find on the one hand no less an authority than Littre giving me but scant assistance. Not only does he define our science as the one quia pour but de faire connaitre I etenduc, la population, les ressources agricoles et industrielles dun etat ;but he goes on to derive the name from the Greek verb o-T arie Lv, etablir, clearly pointing to what may be called the arithmetical ir mathematical side of the science. On the other hand, it is consoling to find that the greater number of our authorities, including Mr. W. Hooper, the able writer in the Encyclopaedia Diclionnaire, t. iv., s.v. Statistique.

Présentation de l'éditeur

On the Cost of Technical and Art Education in England and in Foreign Countries. By Mr. John Slagg, M.P. R ead November 14th, 1883. Much of my time during the past two years has been occupied with an inquiry into the character and extent of Technical Instruction on the Continent, and, incidentally, also, I have had occasion to consider the quality and scope of the education of a similar nature provided in this country. The inquiry upon which I was engaged led me likewise to investigate the sources of the funds from which the cost of this education was defrayed, and the numbers under instruction in certain of the countries which I visited, and it has seemed to me that it might be interesting to the members of this society if I attempted to place before them a few of the statistics which I have been able to gather, concerning the expenditure on these special branches of instruction, both in this country and abroad. I must, at the outset, apologise for the fragmentary and incomplete character of my essay. In many cases I have experienced considerable difficulties in separating the items of expenditure under the various heads. The expense of general education is very often stated as a whole, and is made to include both the artistic and technical instruction.
