Serial sectioning is used in a number of areas in science as a means of viewing the internal features of a threedimensional object as a set of two-dimensional images. The sections are used to recreate three-dimensional computer models of the original objects by constructing surfaces between associated contours on adjacent sections. This has become a common technique for medical imaging, but is ...

The author's purpose is to examine the statistical movement, especially in the 1830s and 1840s until its demise in 1852, in order to find out how it organized itself, to assess its achievements and to discover a distinctive philosophy, if it had one. Most, but not all, of the social statisticians of the time are included here and their activities are introduced by a survey of British social sta...
