Note 44 — Chapter II · THE STATISTICIANS.
Henry P. (Henry Pomeroy) Horton translation
“Die sozialen Wirkungen der Handelskrisen in England”,44 by this author, aims to prove that the commercial crises in England in the years 1823–1850 had a much more violent character than those of the years 1871–1896, which occurred less suddenly, and made themselves felt for a long time afterwards. Since criminality is one of the social phenomena pointed out as caused by these crises, it is worth while giving a résumé of the work in question.
