This four-volume collection was issued by the Paris publisher Furne in the mid-nineteenth century to showcase the adventures and discoveries of recent French explorers. In Volumes 1 and 2 the naval officer Jules Dumont d'Urville (1790-1842) presents a lightly fictionalised account based on his first two voyages to the Pacific on board the Coquille (renamed L'Astrolabe for the second voyage). This was intended for a wider audience and offered at a more affordable price than the large-format scientific expedition reports produced for the French government. The work, illustrated with engravings, was originally published in 1832, but the printings by Furne reissued here date from 1863 and 1859 respectively. Volume 1 describes the voyage through the Atlantic to the Cape of Good Hope, and focuses on South and South-East Asia, China and Hawaii, covering natural history, indigenous culture, and colonial commerce. It ends with the ship's arrival in French Polynesia.

It includes d'Urville's discovery of the location in the Solomon Islands where the explorer Jean-Francois La P rouse's ships had mysteriously disappeared in 1788.

This four-volume collection was issued by the Paris publisher Furne in the mid-nineteenth century to showcase the work of recent French explorers for a readership avid for accounts of exotic foreign lands. Volume 3 is an updated version of an 1841 publication by the influential French palaeontologist Alcide d'Orbigny (1802-57), who between 1826 and 1833 travelled around South America collecting natural history specimens for the Paris Museum. The scientific publications resulting from this fieldwork were greatly admired by Charles Darwin. This lightly fictionalised account of d'Orbigny's travels, illustrated with engravings, was supplemented by information on North America derived from other sources. It went through several editions; this posthumous 1859 printing was further expanded by Alfred Jacobs (1827-62). It begins by describing the Caribbean, focuses in detail on South America, and continues with accounts of the history, landscapes and peoples of Mexico, the United States, Canada, Greenland and Iceland.

This four-volume collection was issued by the Paris publisher Furne in the mid-nineteenth century to showcase the work of recent French explorers for a readership avid for accounts of exotic foreign lands. Volume 4 was prepared by Alfred Jacobs (1802 62), an archivist and palaeographer, drawing heavily on an 1839 publication by Jean-Baptiste Benoit Eyri s (1767 1846). Eyri s was a founder member of the French Geographical Society and a member of the Asiatic Society, trained in botany and mineralogy, an accomplished linguist and seasoned traveller, who wrote, edited and translated a substantial number of works on geography, travel and exploration. Like earlier volumes in Furne's collection, this account of Asia and Africa takes the form of a fictionalised journey, making use of a wide range of additional sources to give readers as complete a picture as possible. This 1859 edition is illustrated with twenty-two engravings.

Von Unternehmen, Regierung und Verwaltung werden standig Anhaltspunkte fur den Umfang von Markten fur Waren und Dienstleistungen benotigt. Keine unterneh merisme, wirtsmafts- oder sozialpolitisme Entsmeidung ist moglim, ohne dass nach besten Kraften versumt wurde zu ermitteln, wie gross das Namfragevolumen ist. Meist genugt es nicht, nur die effektive Namfrage zu kennen; es ist haufig viel wimtiger, auch die potentielle Namfrage zu smatzen. Die Nachfrageanalyse hat daher mehr oder weniger aum prognostisme Bedeutung, weil stets Entsmeidungen fur die Zukunft getroffen werden mussen. Die Aufgabe der Statistik ist es, diese Entsmeidungen zu erleimtern. Was die Statistik dabei zu leisten vermag, legen die Autoren dieser Arbeit, Dr. rer. pol. Alfred Jacobs, Honorarprofessor an der Tedtnismen Homsmule Hannover, und Dr. rer. pol. Margret Jacobs, in anschaulicher Weise dar. Sie zeigen auf, inwieweit die von den Amtern und von Organisationen getragene Statistik fur eine Entsmeidungs findung Unterlagen bietet. Voraussetzung fur eine rimtige Auswertung dieser Unterlagen ist jedoch die Kennt nis der methodologismen und samlimen Grundlagen der einzelnen Statistiken und damit ihrer Aussagekraft. Gerade in dieser Hinsimt werden die Grenzen vielfam uber smritten, wodurm die Statistik als solme in vollig unverdienten Misskredit gebramt wird. Diesem Tatbestand tragen die Autoren dadurm Rechnung, dass sie diese weit reimend unbekannten Grundlagen der einzelnen Statistiken in jeweils erforderlimer Tiefe beleumten."
