    About this ebook

    This piece of writing was originally a student dissertation on the subject of Sir William Petty, written in 1894. At the time very little had been written about this man who not only founded the Royal Society but was also a pioneer of statistical analysis. Petty (1623-1687) first came to prominence when working for Oliver Cromwell.
