Description

Explore the origins of statistical analysis in this scholarly work by John A. Taylor. This book examines the life and work of Gregory King (1648-1712), a surveyor and Secretary to the Commissioners for the Public Accounts. King is best known for his 1696 estimates regarding the population and wealth of England, where he calculated the population at approximately 5.5 million for the year 1688. While modern historians have questioned the accuracy of these figures, Taylor argues that King was an honest compiler of statistics. The text explains how King's eccentric calculations were driven by the specific data available in 1696 and a commitment to pure empiricism. This volume is part of the Contributions to the Study of World History series and provides a deep look into early political economy and the challenges of historical data collection.
