National and provincial statistics in our country 1897 - 1918

The aim of my work after collecting and studying the available literature is to describe and analyze the development of statistics in the Czech lands from primordial investigation over the reign of Maria Theresa to the emergence and operation of statistical provincial offices in Bohemia, Moravia and Silesia, and to mention the activities of these offices, their publication, and especially their significance. My thesis is also dedicated to the most important personalities of that age who deserved the actual operation of those departments In my work I also try to emphasize the most important and the most essential features of this period from the demographic point of view
