A multi-volume American reference set on national economic and social conditions, edited by Wisconsin senator Robert M.

The plates are statistical: two-color pie charts in pale green and salmon, and ranked bar charts printed over tinted wedge grounds, useful for flat-color infographic palettes and stepped bar rhythms.
