Beschreibung
8vo, pp. 19, [1] blank; lightly browned, but a good copy, disbound with remains of the original spine; creased where previously folded.First edition of a lecture given on 29 April 1871 at the University of Leipzig, presentation copy, the title-page inscribed 'Herrn Dr Adolf Mayer, freundschaftlich G.F. Knapp'.Knapp (1842 1926) studied in Munich, Berlin and Göttingen, and in 1867 became head of the statistical office of the municipality of Leipzig, in 1869 extraordinary professor of economics in Leipzig and in 1874 professor in Strasbourg. He was one of the leading German Kathedersozialisten (socialist professors), and co-founder of the Verein für Sozialpolitik.At the beginning of his career he carried out some important work in statistics: he was the first to develop a systematic theory of mortality measurement in his Über die Ermittlung der Sterblichkeit… (1868). 'Opposing the viewpoints of Quételet and his followers, who claimed that man's behaviour is governed by statistical "laws," he viewed statistics simply as a tool in the realistic study of the manifold social phenomena and fully realized the limitations of statistical observations' (ESS).For a fuller discussion of Knapp's contribution to statistics, see Westergaard, Contributions to the history of statistics, p. 221ff.
