Abstract

This paper deals with the history of the nineteenth century Dutch statistical society: “Vereeniging voor de Statistiek”, founded in 1857. In the second half of the nineteenth century the society flourished and had a considerable amount of members. It played a very active role for the establishment of a central official statistical bureau: “Centraal Bureau voor de Statistiek”. These activities ended with success in 1892. Then the society changed its name and did no longer engage itself with statistics. Members of the statistical society thought of statistics as facts about society, mostly numerical, but not always. They hoped to discover the laws which ruled society, by means of statistics. In that way the social sciences would improve.
