[BIBLIOGRAPHICAL NOTE XVIII.--Materials for a more extended
study of the questions touched upon in this chapter are set
forth in Part IV of the Bibliographical Index. Wright's _Report
on Marriage and Divorce_ is, of course, indispensable. It may
be supplemented from the _Eleventh Census, U. S._, I; the
_Census of Massachusetts_, 1875, 1885, 1895; the _Registration
Reports_ of the New England states, of which the forty-first
for Massachusetts is most important; and from those of Indiana,
Illinois, Michigan, and Ohio. Useful summaries of statistics
may also be found in Secretary Dike's _Reports of the National
Divorce Reform League_, and its successor, the _National League
for the Protection of the Family_ (Montpelier and Boston,
1886-1903). An important statistical monograph is Willcox's
_Divorce Problem_ (2d ed., New York, 1897). This should be read
in connection with his "Study in Vital Statistics," in _Pol.
Science Quarterly_, VIII (New York, 1893); his "Marriage Rate
in Michigan," in _Pub. of Am. Stat. Association_, IV (Boston,
1895); Crum's "Marriage Rate in Massachusetts," in the same
volume; and Kuczynski's article in _Quart. Jour. of Economics_,
XVI (Boston, 1902). See also Dike, "Statistics of Marriage and
Divorce," in _Pol. Science Quarterly_, IV (New York, 1889), a
study of the government report; _idem_, "Facts as to Divorce in
New England," in _Christ and Modern Thought_ (Boston, 1881);
Wells, _Divorce in Mass._, extract from the _41st Registration
Report_ (Boston, 1882); Abbott, "Vital Statistics," in _28th
Rep. Mass. State Board of Health_ (Boston, 1897); Wright,
_Practical Sociology_ (New York and London, 1899); Mayo-Smith,

"Divorce Legislation in Conn.," in _New Englander_, XXV (New
Haven, 1866); and Allen, "Divorces in New England," in _North
Am. Rev._, CXXX (New York, 1880). Important foreign statistical
works are Bertillon, "Note pour l'étude stat. de divorce," in
_Annales de démographie internat._, IV (Paris, 1880); _idem_,
_Étude démographique du divorce_ (Paris, 1883); _idem_, "Du
sort des divorcés," in _Jour. de la soc. de statistique_

Marriage-Ages," _ibid._, LIII (London, 1890); Farr, "Influence
of Marriage on the Mortality of the French People," in _Trans.
