Excerpt from Catalogue of the Library of the Royal Statistical Society A catalogue of the Library of the Royal Statistical Society, arranged under authors' names, was published in 1884, and this was supplemented by a subject index in 1886. Since that time large additions have been made to the Library, and within the last two years an examination of the whole of the books has been carefully made with the view of eliminating those which do not come strictly within the scope of the Society. At the present time the number of books and separate publications in the Library is approximately The time has, therefore, come when the publication of a new catalogue is essential. The present catalogue, which comprises (with certain exceptions named below) all works included in the Library on December 31st, 1906, has been prepared on a plan differing slightly from that previously adopted, and has been arranged with the view of affording means of easy reference with due regard to economy of space.

Excerpt from Catalogue of the Library of the Statistical Society, 1884: With Preface and Regulations The Library of the Statistical Society, Whose functions are to observe and record facts relating to the condition and progress of society, must needs be rich in works of a solid character, the writings of Observers and statisticians of all times and countries. And the works it has accumulated, now numbering well nigh volumes, embody facts of a physical and vital, mental and moral, social and economical, commercial, industrial, and financial character, of great value, not only to the politician, the economist and the historian, but to every accurate writer and reasoner. A glance at the pages of this Catalogue will suffice to indicate how varied and thorough is the statistical information now collected, and with what vigour the science is pursued under the superintendence of the State, and still more by the labours of men of Science. Whilst the Astronomer expands our knowledge Of the meteorology and magnetism of the universe, and the Geographer explores for us unknown regions, and makes us acquainted with the habits and wants of distant races, the Statistician labours to evolve the principles of those sciences which govern alike the phenomena of the material universe and the practical problems of the law of probabilities, and subjects the real worth of economic doctrines to the close test of numbers, and to the great corrective of experience and facts. The Library of the Statistical Society has grown to considerable dimen sions Since the last Catalogue was published in 1859. The International Statistical Congress, held under the auspices of the different Governments in Brussels, Paris, Vienna, London, Florence, The Hague, Berlin, St. Petersburg, and Budapest, brought the Statistical Society into contact with the Statistical Bureaux and leading statisticians of all countries, and the Official Publica tions of the following States are now regularly received in the Library, v1z. Argentine Republic, Austria and Hungary, Bavaria, Belgium, Brazil, Bulgaria, China, Denmark, Egypt, France, Germany, Guatemala, Italy, Netherlands, Norway and Sweden, Prussia, Portugal, Roumania, Russia, Saxony, Spain, Switzerland, United States of America, and Uruguay. So also are the Official Publications from the various departments of the United Kingdom, and from the Indian, Colonial, and other Possessions of the British Empire.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

The Classical Economists Revisited conveys the extent, diversity, and richness of the literature of economics produced in the period extending from David Hume's Essays of 1752 to the final contributions of Fawcett and Cairnes in the 1870s. D. P. O'Brien thoroughly updates, rewrites, and expands the vastly influential work he first published in 1975, The Classical Economists. In particular, he sets out to make clear the shaping of a comprehensive vision of the working of an open economy, building on the great work of Adam Smith in Wealth of Nations, a development that was substantially affected by the contributions of David Ricardo. He shows that the Classical literature was in fact the work of a host of thinkers from a wide range of backgrounds. Covering the intellectual roots of the Classical literature and its methodological approaches, and the developed theories of value, distribution, money, trade, population, economic growth, and public finance, and examining the Classical attitudes toward a rich variety of policy issues, The Classical Economists Revisited considers not only the achievements of the Classical writers but also their legacy to the later development of economics. A seminal contribution to the field, this book will be treasured for many years to come by economists, historians of economics, instructors and their students, and anyone interested in the sweeping breadth and enduring influence of the classical economists.
