Excerpt from Records of With an Introductory Discourse on Vital Statistics As there is nothing in the whole compass of sublunary affairs of equal importance to mankind, whether in the abstract or the concrete, with the preservation of the lives of the species; so there are few things of greater interest to the student of human nature, whether the professional physiologist or only the common inquirer into the origin of things around him, than those remarkable departures from the ordinary duration of human life, by which some favoured individuals of our race have been distinguished. Because, not only have the lives of such persons been marked by a more extended duration than those of men generally, but most frequently, too, they have lived exempt from almost all those sicknesses and diseases te which even the members of their own families, with those of society around them, have been all but universally exposed.

Excerpt from Vital Statistics: A Memorial Volume of Selections From Reports and Writings The suggestions which led to the inception of this work had their origin at the Meeting of the Sanitary Institute of Great Britain in Glasgow, in July 1883. Professor W. T. Gairdner, in his Address as President of the section on "Sanitary Science and Preventive Medicine," dwelt forcibly upon the work of William Farr in the field of Sanitary Science. He suggested that the Institute should take steps to publish a selection from his statistical works, which might serve as an enduring monument of his fame. "The best of all possible monuments before the lessons of his life and character have ceased to be vividly present to us." Immediately after the Address, as Chairman of the Council, I promised that the subject should have the careful consideration of the Council, and, that if possible, the proposition should be carried into effect. In the following December the suggestion was considered by the Council; and a Committee, consisting of myself, as Chairman of the Council, Professor Corfield, Dr. Collingridge, and Professor Robinson, was appointed to consider and report upon the possibility of carrying out Dr. Gairdner's proposition. At a later meeting of the Council, the Committee was empowered to carry out the proposal, and the appointment of Mr. Noel A. Humphreys as Editor was sanctioned. The publication of a deceased Authors works not being absolutely provided for by the regulations under which the Sanitary Institute of Great Britain was established, it was thought best to publish the work by subscription. The Committee, with the sanction of the Council, issued a circular, in June 1884, to those interested in sanitary science and health progress, which contained the following paragraphs. - "It has long been the source of much regret amongst students of Vital Statistics, as well as among those practically interested in this branch of Sanitary Science, that the valuable statistical work of the late Dr. William Farr, C. B., F.R.S., is, from the form and manner of its publication, not generally available. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
