In retrospect, it is clear that Pearson's contributions during this period firmly established statistics as a discipline in its own right.In order to place the whole of Pearson's work in proper perspective, it will be helpful to examine his contributions to distinct areas of theory and practice. Consider, for example, his 'method of moments' and his system of wonderfully diverse frequency curves. Pearson's aim in developing the method of moments was to provide a general method for determining the values of the parameters of a frequency distribution of some particular from selected to describe a given set of observational or experimental data. This is clear from his basic exposition of the subject in the first (1894) of his series of memoirs entitled 'Contributions to the Mathematical Theory of Evolution'" (DSB). - Sauber und gut erhalten. - DSB 10, 447.
