Book Description
An excerpt from the Author's Preface: This manual is intended for the use of those who desire some knowledge of statistical methods and statistical results without going deeply into technicalities or undertaking mathematical analysis; it is hoped that it will be of service to all who have occasion to use statistics in their own business or profession, or who take an intelligent interest in public affairs. It is also designed as a first course in statistics for students who wish to proceed further in the subject and, if it serves its purpose will stimulate interest in the many fascinating problems that await solution, and that can only be attacked by the methods of modern mathematical statistics. The first part deals with elementary methods and with such technical terms and ideas as are indispensable in the handling of numbers on a large scale. In the second part the origin of many groups of public statistics is shown, their adequacy is criticized, and some of the more interesting results which are based on them are briefly summarized. This part is intended as a guide to official statistics, not as a compendium or dictionary of them; and the problems attacked are given rather as illustrations than as substantial contributions to knowledge. To facilitate the use of the book in the hands of teachers a number of exercises of various degrees of complexity are given in Appendix I. Every serious student of commercial or public affairs should be acquainted with the nature of the contents of the Statistical Abstract of the United Kingdom; to promote this knowledge, and because many pages of headlines and figures would otherwise have been necessary, a large proportion of the examples relate to tables in the Abstract for 1909, for which future or earlier abstracts can readily be substituted. Appendix II contains a short list of Blue Books which should be easily accessible in the Library of every institution where the subject of statistics has a place in the curriculum.

Book Description
The Yorkshire Observer says: "We have here an invaluable Text-Book in an extremely useful series.... An adequate first course for students arrayed with all Mr. Bowley's well-known clearness and skill." The Economist says: "Mr. Bowley's book provides a practical and clear introduction to the subject, in which the results of much knowledge are admirably arranged in a small space." The Lancet says: "It deals in masterly style with some of the more difficult problems that perplex the beginner." Publications of the American Statistical Association says: Mr. Bowley's book differs from his well-known Elements of Statistics, not only in its greatly diminished mathematical apparatus, but also in its different purpose and scope. It may be described as a handbook of statistical criticism. The first part deals with the elementary statistical processes—averaging, tabulation, the use of diagrams and the like, but with special emphasis throughout upon the necessity of recognizing and stating the limitations of the accuracy of the data used and of the processes themselves. The second part is a survey of the more important classes of English official statistics. How the statistics are gathered, what they actually mean, their inherent limitations and the kinds of inferences that safely may be based on them are all stated with clearness and precision and with pertinent concrete illustrations. The book may not be enough to serve as a formal text-book, but it is a good book to put into the hands of students or of others who are entering upon their statistical apprenticeship. Some of the fundamental criticisms of English statistics should be useful to all statisticians. We greatly need a book dealing in similar fashion with American statistics or, better yet, with official statistics in general.
