The Belgian polymath Adolphe Quetelet (1796–1874) pioneered social statistics, characterising the 'average man' by the mean values of measured variables. Published in English in 1842, this is his most influential work, setting out his 'analysis of normal man through his actions and of intellectual man through his productions'.
