Excerpt from England's Recent Progress: An Investigation of the Statistics of Migrations, Mortality, &C., In the Twenty Years From 1881 to 1901 as Indicating Tendencies Towards the Growth or Decay of Particular Communities
IT seems right that I should explain how I came to take upon myself the responsibility of submitting these figures to the public.
As far back as 1857 I was occupied in studying the Census Tables then available, and my Essays on the Census of Occupations, the first of which was read before the Statistical Society in June 1858, were printed in 1860. The doctrine as to classification which I then advocated was not without influence over the subsequent publications of the Census Office.
About the same time I was engaged upon the population statistics of Lancashire and Cheshire, and my papers on this subject, written jointly with the late Mr. John Towne Danson, were printed in the Transactions of the Historic Society (liverpool) in 1857 and succeeding years.
I again dealt with the subject of the statistics of English Occupations in a paper read before the same Society in December 1868, and in a further paper read in March 1869 I considered the statistics of births, deaths and migrations.
In a paper on the movement of population in certain rural counties, where population upon the whole was almost stationary (statistical Journal, 1879 I entered upon the subject of migrations at particular ages.
