The Statesman's Yearbook
''The Statesman's Yearbook'' is a one-volume reference book providing information on the countries of the world. It is published by Palgrave Macmillan.
==The first edition==
In the middle of the nineteenth century, Robert Peel suggested to Alexander Macmillan of the publishing house the publication of "a handbook presenting in a compact shape a picture of the actual conditions, political and social of the various states in the civilised world". Some years later, Thomas Carlyle and William Gladstone, introduced Carlyle’s assistant Frederick Martin to Macmillan. An agreement was signed in December 1862 for ''A Statistical, Genealogical, and Historical Account of the States and Sovereigns of the Civilised World''. Thirteen months later the first ''Statesman’s Yearbook'' went on sale, price 8 shillings and 4 pence. In the preface to this first edition, Martin declared: "The great aim has been to insure an absolute correctness of the multiplicity of fact and figures in ''The Statesman’s Yearbook''."
