Description:Excerpt from Railway Rates and Terminal Charges, Vol. 54 The Royal Statistical Society was founded, in pursuance of a recommendation of the British Association for the Advancement of Science, on the 15th of March, 1834; its objects being, the careful collection, arrangement, discussion and publication, of facts bearing on and illustrating the complex relations of modem society in its social, economical, and political aspects, - especially facts which can be stated numerically and arranged in tables; - and also, to form a Statistical Library as rapidly as its funds would permit. The Society from its inception has steadily progressed. It now possesses a valuable Library of about 30,000 volumes, and a Reading Room. Ordinary Meetings are held monthly from November to June, which are well attended, and cultivate among its Fellows an active spirit of investigation; the Papers read before the Society are, with an abstract of the discussions thereon, published in its Journal, which now consists of fifty-eight annual volumes, and forms of itself a valuable library of reference. The Society has originated and statistically conducted many special inquiries on subjects of economic or social interest, of which the results have been published in the Journal, or issued separately. To enable the Society to extend its sphere of useful activity, and accomplish in a yet greater degree the various ends indicated, an increase in its numbers and revenue is desirable. With the desired increase in the number of Fellows, the Society will be enabled to publish standard works on Economic Science and Statistics, especially such as are out of print or scarce, and also greatly extend its collection of Foreign works. Such a well-arranged Library for reference, as would result, does not at present exist in England, and is obviously a great desideratum. The Society is cosmopolitan, and consists of Fellows and Honorary Fellows, forming together a body, at the present time, of about one thousand Members. The Annual Subscription to the Society is Two Guineas, and at present there is no entrance fee. Fellows may, on joining the Society, or afterwards, compound for all future Annual Subscriptions by a payment of Twenty Guineas. The Fellows of the Society receive gratuitously a copy of each part of the Journal as published quarterly, and have the privilege of purchasing back numbers at a reduced rate. The Library (reference and circulating), and the Reading Room, are open daily, for the convenience of Members.
