<P>Abstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner.</P>This machine-readable version of John Williams' <i>Digest of Welsh Historical Statistics</i> is the result of a collaboration between the Statistical Directorate of the National Assembly for Wales, the History Data Service and the Centre for Data Digitisation and Analysis at Queen's University Belfast.<br> John Williams' <i>Digest of Welsh Historical Statistics</i> is intended to provide a service for those working on the history of modern Wales. It arises from a belief that the quantitative element is a necessary and important part of the historical record; from an awareness that it was an aspect that was particularly inaccessible for scholars of Welsh history; and from a conviction that some encouragement in the use of quantitative material was necessary. It is modelled on the two volumes dedicated to British historical statistics: Mitchell, B.R. and Deane, P. (1962) <i>Abstract of British historical statistics</i> and Mitchell, B.R. and Jones, H.G. (1971) <i>Second abstract of British historical statistics</i>.<B>Main Topics</B>:<BR> The main tables are:<br> <br>Output of copper ore in tons, by main counties, 1855-1919<br> Copper ore sold at Swansea ticketings, 1804-1881; and imports of copper ore and unwrought copper to Swansea, 1832-1874, and Llanelli 1832-1898<br> Lead ore.
