Excerpt from Statistical Studies: Relating National Progress in Wealth and Trade Since 1882: A Plea for Further Enquiry
Some part Of the statistics used in the following pages has been gradually accumulated in the course of researches as to the history of wages, prices, and foreign trade covering the last ten years, and in a few cases the tables have merely been brought up to date from articles already published. Part has been specially tabulated from official returns for the present purpose. Much of the material was used by me in recent lectures at the London School of Economics, where it was treated from the purely historical point of view.
