Abstract
THE second issue of this Yearbook maintains the high standard of the first issue, covering the years 1933-38. Being greatly enlarged, it exhibits more fully the advantages of this original method of gathering in a single work of reference the critical and descriptive reviews which have appeared upon the literature in this branch of science. The excerpts presented in this Yearbook are longer and more informative than those in the first volume. The material covered has been extended, especially in mathematical economics, population studies and general histories of science. The appearance of the volume has been improved in many ways, including the use of larger type, and, although a work of this kind was particularly needed in respect of statistical methodology, the value and convenience of this venture should encourage the application of the same principles with respect to other branches of scientific literature.
