A little marginal damping to endpapers barely evident on the inner margin of the title page. FIRST EDITION. A report on the second of two special censuses of mental institutions in the United States the first having been conducted in 1904. Previously the Census Bureau had tracked rates of insanity among the general population only as part of the regular decennial censuses. The 1910 special census surveyed 366 institutions collectively holding 248560 inmates. Joseph A. Hill's report analyzes a multitude of demographics including sex age race literacy marital status state region urban vs. rural etc. Another factor considered was nativity. The inclusion of this question on the survey reflected in part contemporary nativist fears that immigrants were increasing the percentage of mentally ill in the United States although Hill's report refutes this supposition. Mary F. Griffin and Louis C. Taylor contribute a "Summary of Laws Relative to the Care of the Insane" pp. 64-105. The census of 1910 reflected a growing sophistication in analyzing statistical data. The claim that insanity was increasing rapidly Hill noted was dubious. A variety of determinants shaped the statistics of insanity he insisted including the growing practices of institutionalizing the insane; the increasing average length of life; new diagnostic methods in psychiatry leading to the detection of mental factors in physical cases; the establishment of dispensaries; provision for voluntary and emergency commitment; and better modes of transportation i.e. automobiles that made it possible to bring individuals in poor physical condition to mental hospitals. By correcting for the age distribution of the entire native and foreign-born population Hill also demonstrated that the allegation that immigrants had far higher rates of mental illness was in error. --Gerald N. Grob The Origins of American Psychiatric Epidemiology p. 232 in A.J.P.H. 1985. The general statistical tables for this volume were published separately the previous year without any of the explanatory text illustrations or additional tables present here.

1803réf. 10056Konigsberg: Goebbels und Unzer 1803. First Edition. Contemporary paper backed boards and label. Very good; spine label partially abraded. 8vo xvi 1 - 232 pp. Statesman statistician and economist the author had an eminent career in public policy making and teaching. He was for a time the principal advisor to Hardenberg and present at Paris for the peace conference in 1813 as well as the Congress of Vienna. He was also responsible for the complete overhaul and modernization of the Prussian satistical bureau beginning in 1810. He was the author of several books on statistics as well as economics and law. The work offered here is his first publication. It is a detailed exposition of how the social and commercial maintenance of the guild system is an obstacle to the economic progress of the state and its populace. Given the author's proximity to the center of Prussian power and government it can be read as a 'map' for the future development of the German state under Prussian leadership after unification.
