Some of these categories, however, regularly received official, statistical
treatment, even before being incorporated in this comprehensive work.
The 1854 Committee proposed, amongst other things, that the Central Bureau
of Statistics ought, by the issue of a periodical, "with greater rapidity than
through the ordinary official press publish statistical news of more general
interest and communicate the main results of more extensive tabular returns etc."
This periodical, which has been issued ever since 1860 under the name of
Statistisk Tidskrift (The Journal of Statistics), has contained proposals, reports,
and royal decisions concerning official statistical investigations and summaries,
brief surveys of the great official reports, statistical monographs on various
subjects, and brief statistical information from foreign countries, etc. Further, the
periodical has from 1871 given an abstract of the whole mass of official
statistics, and from 1907 a collection of statistical matter illustrative of economic
conditions of the preceding year; finally also comprehensive international surveys
(thus forming a precursor to G. Sundbärg’s "Apergus statistiques internationaux").
According to regulations of 1911 (see below) this journal is to stop publication
(in the main superseded by other publications of the Central Bureau: Statistical
Year-book, Occasional Statistical Investigations, etc.).
After the Riksdag had, in 1897, appropriated a special grant for the
institution of statistical investigations concerning Labour, the series of
Labour Statistics published by the Board of Trade commenced (the first
number was issued in 1899). In 1903 there was set up within the Board
a special Labour Statistics Branch, under the direction of a first actuary;
and this body — in addition to the Labour Statistics series ■— began in
1903 to publish a periodical named "Meddelanden från K.
Kommerskol-legii avdelning för arbetsstatistik" (Board of Trade Labour Statistics
Branch Returns). By the resolution of the Riksdag in 1912 the Labour
Statistics Branch was converted into an independent department — the
Royal Social Board (see below).
Ever since 1910, when a Statistical Committee appointed in 1905 made
its proposals for statistical reorganization, both the official statistics and
the statistical offices have been in course of rearrangement.
The regulations of 1911 provided that Swedish official statistical
literature shall appear in octavo (the "Contributions" were in large quarto),
divided into two series — Official Statistics of Siveden (Sveriges officiella
statistik) and Statistical Returns (Statistiska meddelanden).
