Official statistics in Belgium, 1795-1870, Nele Bracke unravels why and how the Belgian state and its predecessors organized and developed an official statistical apparatus in order to collect numerical information. The study captures the underlying objectives and structures, as well as the methods to compile statistics. Nele Bracke investigates the meaning and significance of government statistics in the 19th-century State and society. In Belgium, early social scientists established an internationally renowned ?statistical system? designed to collect information about the country, the people and the society. This ?statistical system? was built around the ?Commission centrale de Statistique? (statistical committee) and the production of demographic, economic and agricultural censuses. In the first part of the book, the author analyses the institutional history of the ?Commission centrale de Statistique? and its predecessors. In the second part of the book, she studies the censuses. 410 0$aHistorische economie en ecologie. 606 $aSocial Sciences$2HILCC 606 $aStatistics - General$2HILCC 607 $aBelgium$vCensus$xHistory$y19th century 610 $abelgian history 610 $abelgische geschiedenis 610 $a19e eeuw 610 $aoverheidsstatistiek 610 $ainstituitional history 610 $agovernment statistics 610 $a19th century 610 $ainstitutionele geschiedenis 615 7$aSocial Sciences 615 7$aStatistics - General 700 $aBracke$b Nele$0800998 801 0$bPQKB 801 2$bUkMaJRU 912 $a996201664803316 996 $aEen monument voor het land$91986055 997 $aUNISA
