    Extractions: PLAYA (a Spanish word meaning “ shore “), the name applied in America to a level plain formed of the deposits of a river which has no outlet to the sea or a lake. If at seasons of high water a river floods any area and temporarily converts it into a lake, which subsequently dries up in hot weather, the tract thus left dry is called a playa. The barren Black Rock Desert in north-western Nevada, about 100 m. in length by 55 in breadth, is typical. A collected edition of Playfair’s works, with a memoir by James G. Playfair, appeared at Edinburgh in 4 vols. 8vo. His writings include a number of essays contributed to the Edinburgh Review from 1804 onwards, various papers in the Phil. Trans. (including his earliest publication, “ On the Arithmetic of Impossible Quantities,” 1779, and an “Account of the Lithological Survey of Schehallion,” PLAYFAIR, LYON PLAYFAIR, 1st BARON (1818—1898), was born at Chunar, Bengal province, on the 21st of May 1818.

A short visit to India (in 1837—1838) was followed by his return to Europe to study A memoir by Sir Wemyss Reid was published in 1899.

    Extractions: Klik op het plaatje om de grafiek te zien Aanvankelijk was Playfair vooral geinteresseerd in het weergeven van tijdreeksen. De oudst bekende tijdreeksen met economische details zijn de afbeeldingen van de Engelse handelsbalans (zie de voorbeelden hiernaast), gepubliceerd in Playfair's boek The Commercial and Political Atlas (Londen, 1786). Het verschil tussen de export en de import geeft de balans voor Engeland weer, wat Playfair nog eens extra benadrukte door verschillende kleuren te gebruiken al naar gelang die balans positief of negatief was. Playfair legde in de Atlas omstandig uit hoe de ordinaten van zijn grafieken begrepen moesten worden. Hij vergeleek de hoogten boven de horizontale as met stapels munten:

    Extractions: Extent: 9 boxes BOAPAH was a pilot project conducted by the British Library of Political and Economic Science in 1979-1980, and financed by a Social Science Research Council grant. The aim of the project was to collect a systematic oral archive of interviews with key figures from politics, the civil service and the armed forces. Interviewees were selected predominantly from former Permanent Secretaries or former Cabinet Ministers, and were asked questions relating to the whole period of their official life, concentrating on the post-war years. Day to day administration and interviewing was carried out by Andrew Seldon. A detailed methodology is available in the bound catalogue. The interview tapes were transcribed, corrected by the interviewee, and retyped into a fair copy. All four versions of the interview were kept, though the fair copies were bound into individual volumes organised by interviewee.
