Äußerst seltene erste Ausgabe der wichtigen Arbeit des australisch-britischen Physikers und ersten Statistikers des Commonwealth Sir George Handley Knibbs (1858-1929). – Knibbs (gen. „the Knibb“) war der erste Direktor des 1916 gegründeten Commonwealth Institute of Science and Industry (CSIRO) in Canberra. – „During World War I Knibbs was on the Royal Commission dealing with problems of trade and industry, and was a consulting member of the committee on munitions of war. In 1920 Knibbs played a leading role at the British Empire Statistical Conference in London. In March 1921 he was made director of the newly founded Institute of Science and Industry, a forerunner to the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO). At the 1921 meeting of the Australasian Association for the Advancement of Science Knibbs was president of the Social and Statistical Science Section, and took as the subject of his address „Statistics in regard to World and Empire development“. Two years later he was president of the association and spoke on „Science and its service to man“. Knibbs resigned his directorship of the Institute of Science and Industry in 1926, and lived in retirement until his death of coronary vascular disease at Camberwell, Victoria, a suburb of Melbourne, on 30 March 1929. … He contributed 29 papers to the Royal Society of New South Wales, and several of his monographs, largely on statistical subjects (The Mathematical Theory of Population, The Census of Wealth), were published as pamphlets; also monographs on pure mathematics, geodesy, and geodetical instruments. In 1913 he published a volume of verse, Voices of the North and Echoes of Hellas, largely translations, carefully written but not important as poetry, and in 1928 appeared a work on population, The Shadow of the World’s Future. He also published Design of the Federal Capital“ (Wikipedia). – Stempel auf dem Titelblatt, sehr gutes sauberes Exemplar.
