Metuchen, New Jersey & London:: Scarecrow, 1976. A square, tight copy. Corners are NOT bumped. No owner's name or bookplate. A few pages with minor finger soil. Posthumously published collection of Farr's writings on statistics and public health. This 1976 edition has a new 12-page Introduction by Mervyn Susser and Abraham Adelstein. The 1885 original was edited for the Sanitary Institute of Great Britain by Noel A. Humphreys. There is also a biographical sketch of Farr, as well as a frontispiece portrait of him. Farr was chief statistician in England's General Register Office and a pioneer in the quantitative evaluation of morbidity and mortality statistics.

This was the first time a mechanical calculator was applied to solve a health or biology question. Bound in the original green cloth, lettered in shiny gold on the spine and front cover.

Shopbeschreibung

About Books [Genny and Michael Winne, proprietors, formerly of Parsippany, New Jersey) has been selling rare and out of print books since 1985. Besides book fairs and mail order catalogue, long-time collectors and dealers will remember our lengthy For Sale ads in the Antiquarian Bookman and similar magazines. Our inventory of more than 40,000 volumes is especially strong in the specialities listed, but contains fine books in a variety of other fields as well. Because most of our books are stored in protective boxes, rather than on shelves, they cannot be viewed as a whole. If you want to examine specific titles, please provide 24 hours notice and we will make them available for your inspection. Phone calls to (702) 750-2722 are welcome, but please only between the hours of 8am and 10pm, west coast time. Our phone is a landline that cannot receive texts.…
