Annual Statistician and Economist,
REVIEWED BY THE
"ARGONAUT," of S. F., April 21, 1890.
"McCarty's 'Annual Statistician.'—The fourteenth edition of 'The Annual Statistician and Economist,' prepared by L. P. McCarty, has just been issued, bringing the record up to the fifth day of April, 1890. This work deservedly ranks among the foremost statistical publications of the world, and is the most useful and valuable to Californians, inasmuch as it treats most fully of local topic, as do Macmillan's 'Year Book' of English affairs, the 'American Almanac' of United States and New York affairs, etc. It is by no means a local publication, however; it summarizes the history of mankind—in war, politics, religion, education, science, and material progress—in wonderfully brief space, and it is so systematically arranged that, by table of contents or index, one may find almost any desired information on the widest possible range of knowledge at a moment's notice. It is arranged in four divisions: The United States, the political and military history of the Union, the personnel of the government, the distribution of population, and statistics of production, of illiteracy, of immigration, of export and import, etc.; The World, in which the other political divisions of the globe are similarly analyzed, though not so minutely; The Practical, giving tables of mensuration, rapid methods of calculation, value of coins, and other facts about material things; and, The Miscellany, in which are crowded what information could not well be included in the other chapters. As the 'Annual Statistician' is issued between March and June each year, it can summarize the reports of officials and other important sources of information which are not available for similar publications which appear soon after the end of the year, and to indicate the compiler's assiduity in his task, it may be mentioned that a leaf has been inserted in the present volume supplementing the record of events with a list of 'principal occurrences while binding,' including February and March. Published by L. P. McCarty, San Francisco; for sale by the book sellers; price, per cloth, $4.00; black leather, $5.00."
