Obituary notice of the late Alexander Thom, Esq. J. P., Queen's printer in Ireland, a vice-president of the Statistical and Social Inquiry Society of Ireland

Abstract

Since the last meeting of this Society, we have lost one of its original members, Mr. Alexander Thom, who did more to popularize statistics in Ireland and place before the world the real condition of the country than any other member. The Council have requested me to bring under your notice a brief sketch of his life, with special reference to the services he has rendered to Ireland in the matter of statistics.
