This book was written by William Petty in the 1670s and published in 1690. Although it is a short work, Petty proposes a method for developing discussions of society "using numbers, quantities, and measures," and actually demonstrates this in relation to a comparison of the national power of England and France at the time. This has made it an important classic in statistics and economics. Furthermore, the field of statistics that began with Petty has generally come to be known as political arithmetic.

ウィリアム・ペティによって1670年代に書かれ,90年に出版された本。小著ではあるが,その中でペティは〈数と量と尺度によって〉社会を対象とした議論を展開する方法を提案し,かつそれを当時のイギリスとフランスの国力の比較に関して実際に示している。これにより統計学,経済学上の重要な古典となった。またペティに始まる統計的学問は一般に政治算術と呼ばれるようになった。【竹内 啓】
