This work was first published in 1889 and re-written in 1899, since 

 when, owing to the official engagements of the author, no new edition 

 has been prepared, and the book has been allowed to go out of print. 

 The new edition will be substantially a new work. 



The subject divides itself naturally into consideration of the data of 

 vital statistics, their compilation, and their interpretation ; and under 

 each of these headings the needs of physicians, public health officers and 

 social workers will be carefully met, and numerous illustrations given of 

 statistical errors and the methods for avoiding them. 



A wide interpretation is given to the scope of Vital Statistics, which 

 are regarded as including not only the measurement of population, of 

 natality and mortality and of sickness, but also some of the chief 

 problems of epidemiology, of poverty, of crime and of genetics. 



The Evolution of Continuity 

 in the Natural World 



BY DAVID RUSSELL, M.D. 



Demy Sv o. Illustrated 1 55. net. 



This book throws a new light on the problem of Natural Evolution, 

 and claims to show the fundamental principle which has governed, and 

 still governs, the process. Its chief concern, however, is with the 

 evolution of living types, and with the demonstration of the hitherto 

 unrecognized " Fundamental Species of Continuity," within which 

 evolved the various animal and vegetable " Sub-species." In the light 

 of present-day opinion the views of the writer are in many respects 

 revolutionary, and their acceptance must necessarily involve changes in 

 biological teaching, not only as regards classification * but also develop- 

 ment, and all the phenomena of Growth generally.

" Mr. Tansley's book is so vigorously and intelligently written that it is 

 difficult to do anything but advise all those who take even a slight interest 

 in the mind of man, in politics, sociology, education, religion, art, to buy 

 the book and to read every word of it." Nation.
