Reports of Samuel B. Ruggles, Delegate to the International Statistical Congress (Classic Reprint): At Berlin, on the Resources of the United States, ... Weights, Measures and Coins (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Inhaltsangabe
Insights from a pivotal 1863 international statistical congress. This edition presents the United States' formal report to the International Statistical Congress at Berlin, detailing national strength and the drive toward a uniform system of weights, measures, and coins. It highlights how official statistics were gathered, organized, and proposed for global adoption.
The material offers a window into 19th‑century efforts to standardize measurement and currency, and to compare nations on four key elements: territory, population, agricultural production, and precious metals. It also records debates over a possible metric system and the balance between gold and silver in world currencies. Readers will see how a delegate framed data to inform policy, while navigating political sensitivities and ongoing insurrection concerns in the United States.
- Context for the Berlin congress and the practical aims of statistical science in the 1860s.
- Descriptions of four cardinal elements used to assess national strength.
- Discussion of proposed weights, measures, and coin standards, including the metric system.
- Notes on the challenges of collecting and presenting statistics from a war-torn nation.
Ideal for readers of 19th‑century history, diplomacy, and the emergence of international standards in science and commerce.
