Abstract
A NEW book by Mr. Udny Yule is a statistical event which, though of great rarity, is all the more welcome when it occurs. This, however, is not a formal treatment of a subject which has already shaken down into definite lines of development, or even a systematic introduction to such a subject. Rather is it an account in volume form of Mr. Yule's incursion into a novel and interesting field of research.
