Reports of Samuel B. Ruggles, Delegate to the International Statistical Congress (Classic Reprint): At Berlin, on the Resources of the United States, ... Weights, Measures and Coins (Classic Reprint) - Tapa blanda
Sinopsis
Insights from a pivotal 1863 international statistical congress. This edition presents the United States' formal report to the International Statistical Congress at Berlin, detailing national strength and the drive toward a uniform system of weights, measures, and coins. It highlights how official statistics were gathered, organized, and proposed for global adoption.
The material offers a window into 19th‑century efforts to standardize measurement and currency, and to compare nations on four key elements: territory, population, agricultural production, and precious metals. It also records debates over a possible metric system and the balance between gold and silver in world currencies. Readers will see how a delegate framed data to inform policy, while navigating political sensitivities and ongoing insurrection concerns in the United States.
- Context for the Berlin congress and the practical aims of statistical science in the 1860s.
- Descriptions of four cardinal elements used to assess national strength.
- Discussion of proposed weights, measures, and coin standards, including the metric system.
- Notes on the challenges of collecting and presenting statistics from a war-torn nation.
Ideal for readers of 19th‑century history, diplomacy, and the emergence of international standards in science and commerce.

Excerpt from Reports of Samuel B. Ruggles, Delegate to the International Statistical Congress: At Berlin, on the Resources of the United States, and on an Uniform System of Weights, Measures and Coins
On the 7th of September, the credentials of the undersigned were presented and approved, at which time representatives from the following countries, stated in alphabetical order, had been duly admitted, viz.
The United States of America; Anhalt-Dessau; Austria; Baden; Bavaria; Belgium; the Danubian Provinces; Denmark; France; Frankfort; Great Britain; Hamburg; Hanover; Holland; Holstein; Hesse-Cassel; Hesse-Darmstadt; Italy; Lubeck; Mecklenburg-Schwerin; Norway; Oldenburg; Portugal; Prussia; Russia; Saxe-Coburg; Saxe-Weimar; Saxony; Spain; Sweden; Switzerland; Turkey; and Wirtemberg.
The representatives of most of the nations above specified made reports to the Congress on the statistics of their respective countries, which will be duly published in German and in French, in the official proceedings or "Compte Rendu" of the Congress. In general, the proceedings and debates were in the German language, but to some extent in French and English.
Through some accidental and unintentional omission, none of the States of South America, or of Central America, sent delegates to the Congress, although Brazil, especially, had been represented in preceding sessions of the Congress. The name of the undersigned was erroneously entered in the printed and published lists as delegate from "North America," but on his application the error will be corrected in the official report of the proceedings.
On Friday, the 11th of September, being the sixth day of the session, a statistical report was presented to the Congress by the undersigned, in behalf of the United States of America, of which a copy is herewith transmitted.
