Excerpt from The British Fish Trade Few things are more remarkable in modern politics than the care which is almost everywhere taken to illustrate, by statistics I the science of government. In the United Kingdom elaborate arrangements are made with this object. Public officers are employed in enumerating the ¿ocks and herds, in recording the crops which are sown, and in counting every bale of goods which is either imported into, or exported from, the country. The writer, who desires to procure statistical information on almost any subject connected with the growth, the health, the con' dition, or the industry of the people, is able to obtain it in an authoritative form, and in a convenient and cheap volume. The success which the Statistical Abstracts have achieved has induced their authors to extend their scope. The Statis tical Abstract of the United Kingdom has been supplemented by statistical abstracts for the Colonies, for India, and for even foreign countries. A vast mass of information of almost immeasurable value has in this way been collected, and the student or the inquirer is able to obtain facts on almost every subject to which either his studies or his investigations may be directed.
