This is the theoretical volume of the landmark two-volume work that established the mathematical foundations of modern survey sampling. Sample Survey Methods and Theory, Volume II develops the rigorous probability theory underlying stratified, cluster, and multi-stage sampling designs, with detailed derivations, proofs, and variance estimators that shaped mid-century statistical practice in government, economics, and social science research. Published in 1953 as part of the Wiley Publications in Statistics series, this volume reflects the authors' work at the U.S. Census Bureau and leading academic institutions, and it remains frequently cited in the history of sampling theory. The book is handsomely produced in the classic Wiley cloth style, with clear mathematical typography and extensive indexing. This particular copy carries period academic provenance, including a student name, room number, homework and reading assignments, and handwritten mathematical and statistical calculations throughout. The annotations are thoughtful and instructional in nature, reflecting active scholarly use rather than casual marking, and they do not obscure the printed text. A solid, historically interesting working copy of a foundational statistical text. Very Good Condition. Firm binding; original cloth present with visible spine wear, rubbing, and fraying at the head and tail. Interior pages remain supple and readable. No missing pages. First Edition, First Printing. Copyright page dated 1953 with no later printing statements. Library of Congress Catalog Card No. 53-8112. Standard Wiley practice of the period did not include number lines. Morris H. Hansen, William N. Hurwitz, and William G. Madow were pioneering statisticians whose work at the U.S. Census Bureau and in academia laid the groundwork for modern probability-based survey sampling. Hansen, in particular, is widely regarded as a central architect of twentieth-century sampling methodology, and this two-volume set remains one of the most influential treatments of the subject ever published. This copy is Volume two only.…
