Abstract
Eric Brian Administrative statistics and statistical internationalism during the second part of 19th century. Comparison between two French handbooks published in French : « Introduction théorique » from the Manuel de statistique ethnographique universelle by Xavier Heuschling (1847) and the Cours élémentaire de statistique administrative by Jacques Bertillon (1895), shows that twenty-five years of statistical internationalism (1853-1876) had deeply modified administrative statistics. After stating these radical differences, they are explained by some special procedures of the International Congress of Statistics. The conclusion emphasizes the necessity of analyzing the interrelation between modalities of learning, practical way of doing statistics and of conceiving history of statistics.
