  Arthur Lyon Bowley Summary

 Commentary: Horse kicks, anthrax and the Poisson model for deaths - CDIC Vol. 23 No. 2, 2002
Though Bortkiewicz was the first to publish, another author, apparently independently, had the idea of using deaths to illustrate the Poisson distribution.
Bowley adds: "The general principle that small numbers show a certain constancy is well exemplified.
Specialists in all professions, from the doctor who treats only one obscure disease of the ear, to the dealer in curiosities, make their livelihood dependent on this principle of small numbers." However, Bowley adds in a footnote: "Since writing this section my attention has been called to a treatise by Dr. Bortkewitsch [sic]...

Sir Arthur Bowley is best known for his active role in furthering the use of quantitative methods in economics.
Bowley's work included a brave attempt in 1927 to estimate the British national income which, although not very successful, nonetheless launched further attempts by others to compile national income accounts.
All this concentration on quantitative work should be unsurprising as Bowley's main career appointments were as a statistician and his most successful book was in fact his Elements of Statistics (1901) - incidentally, the first such textbook in the English language.

Bowley's teaching presaged several of the EDA ideas later popularised by John Tukey, including stemplots, decile boxplots, and [seven-figure summaries]].
He did not readily make friends and his close friendship with Edwin Cannan over many years was an almost unique experience." They recall an anecdote about an occasion when Bowley and Cannan were cycling with Edgeworth.
When Edgeworth wanted to discuss a mathematical question Cannan said, “Bowley, let us go a little faster, Edgeworth cannot talk mathematics at more than eight miles an hour.”

The curve connecting points O and A is often called the contract curve.
