Excerpt from Sir Victor Horsley: A Study of His Life and Work He belonged to a long-lived family. He was himself strong and vigorous. He would under normal circumstances probably have lived to old age, and so long as strength of mind and body remained to him it would have been used in attempting to further the interests of the people. And he would have furthered them. He possessed in a high degree the power of influencing other men, and not only those of his own age but also the young, a much rarer gift. They felt that he was not of the past or even of the present but of the future, and that his leading was always onwards and upwards. When he joined a cause, his name at once added strength to it. It could not be merely sentimental, or wanting in justification, if it had attracted to it so manly a man and so keen an intellect. Thus he would have been a teaching and inspiring force in the country, and he has left a void which so far no one has come forward to fill.

This lively collection of essays examines in witty detail the history of some of the concepts involved in bringing statistical argument "to the table," and some of the pitfalls that have been encountered. The topics range from seventeenth-century medicine and the circulation of blood, to the cause of the Great Depression and the effect of the California gold discoveries of 1848 upon price levels, to the determinations of the shape of the Earth and the speed of light, to the meter of Virgil's poetry and the prediction of the Second Coming of Christ. The title essay tells how the statistician Karl Pearson came to issue the challenge to put "statistics on the table" to the economists Marshall, Keynes, and Pigou in 1911. The 1911 dispute involved the effect of parental alcoholism upon children, but the challenge is general and timeless: important arguments require evidence, and quantitative evidence requires statistical evaluation. Some essays examine deep and subtle statistical ideas such as the aggregation and regression paradoxes; others tell of the origin of the Average Man and the evaluation of fingerprints as a forerunner of the use of DNA in forensic science. Several of the essays are entirely nontechnical; all examine statistical ideas with an ironic eye for their essence and what their history can tell us about current disputes.
