Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Statistics, Medical and Anthropological, of the Provost-Marshal-General's Bureau, Vol. 1 of 2: Derived From Records of the Examination for Military Service in the Armies of the United States During the Late War of the Rebellion, of Over a Million Recruits, Drafted Men, Substitutes and Enrolled Men
The charts and maps, as stated in the introductory notice to Part II, are derived from Tables 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, and 22. Although the statistics of all these tables are rendered easy of comprehension by the ratios given, yet a mental comparison of ah stract numbers is necessary; but the charts, which have been prepared in order that the most interesting results of the pathological tables may be presented to the eye, show, as a picture and at a glance, the relation between the different terms, conditions, or elements of the comparison. An inspection will at once reveal the method adopted, and the comments upon each chart or class of charts will direct the attention of the reader to the interesting comparative results.
