Book Description
Excerpt from The Elements of Vital Statistics The issue of the selections from the writings of Dr. Farr (vital Statistics by the Sanitary Institute in 1885, which appeared after I had begun my task, did not prevent me continuing it. Every one interested in the progress of public health owes a debt of gratitude to the Sanitary Institute, and to Mr. N. A. Humphreys, the editor of the work, for thus giving in a readily accessible form these selections from Dr. Farr's writings; but the form in which the work is necessarily cast - consisting of extracts from various reports and articles, the subjects of which not infrequently overlap, -although very valu able for reference, does not meet the requirements of the ordinary student. It is evident that in such a subject the substantive facts must be derived chiefly from the registrar-general's Reports and, where it is not otherwise stated, the reader may assume that the facts adduced in the following pages are derived from this source. The value of the registrar-general's Reports 1s Increasing year by year; and there is no country in the world which possesses so rich a mine of information for all who know how to avail themselves of its treasures.
