DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from The Progress of the Nation in Its Various Social and Economic Relations From the Beginning of the Nineteenth Century Porter's Progress of the Nation was a statistical and descriptive study of the social, economic, commercial, and fiscal changes which took place in the United Kingdom during the first half of the nineteenth century. The two first sections of the first edition were published in 1836 and the remainder in 1838, the full title being The Progress of the Nation in its social and commercial relations, from the beginning of the Nineteenth Century to the Present Day. A second edition appeared in one thick volume in 1846, and a third in 1851. As the first edition was full of arguments for those fiscal changes in the direction of Free Trade which were being rapidly accomplished when the second and third appeared, these two later editions suffer; for the author naturally endeavoured to preserve as much of the original as possible. The rents in the old garment and the new patches are quite visible to the reader. The book, however, is a storehouse of information, highly valued by all who take a serious interest in the economic history of our country. It was commenced before the modern passion for government statistics had been developed or catered for. But Porter had excellent sources of information so far as information was then available. He was one of the founders of the Statistical Society, and in 1834, when the Board of Trade was reorganized, he was placed at the head of the Statistical Department. In 1840 he became senior member of the Railway Department, and in 1841 was appointed Joint Secretary to the Board of Trade (his colleague being MacGregor), a post which he retained until his death in 1852. It may be gravely doubted whether "the Progress of the Nation" is not a misnomer, if the condition of the working classes from, say 1794 to 1844 be impartially surveyed.

The need Of accurate information was strongly felt, and in 1800 a Bill for the first census passed without opposition.
