Synopsis
Excerpt from Statistical Abstract of the World
Statistics relating to the different peoples of the earth, their products of the soil, mines, and fisheries, their manufactures, means of transportation, and their commerce, are accessible, but in widely scattered form. To obtain them requires the consultation of many books, more than are commonly found in a single library. To bring these statistics together in compact form, thus making them easily accessible, is the purpose of this little book.
The figures given are the latest obtainable. Their date is not given, and it seems scarcely necessary. The dates of those in different tables differ in many cases, and even those relating to different countries in the same table may differ. This is unavoidable; otherwise the tables would be much less complete than they are.
Statistics of the most recent single year are given in preference to the mean of several years, as being on the whole nearest to the truth. Population, pro duction, and commerce are increasing year by year, so that the mean of the five years 1900 to 1905 would be farther from the facts in 1906 than would be the figures of the single year 1905.
