Beschreibung

x, 1 leaf, 9-213, 15 pp. Original cloth. Ink stamp of Royal Society of Edinburgh on front pastedown and on title page (see photos). Near Fine. First Edition. PRESENTATION COPY FROM EDWARD JARVIS: "Royal Society Edinburgh Scotland/ from Edward Jarvis." I do not know if the inscription is in Jarvis's hand. Reviewing Jarvis's Report in 1856, Isaac Ray wrote: "Never, perhaps, has a statistical inquiry been pursued with such ample provisions against error and imperfection, or with results more worthy of reliance. In all those respects which render such a work of value,-accuracy, completeness, and pertinence,-we doubt if it has been surpassed."
