The books listed show Pearson’s range of interests: applied mathematics, philosophy of science, biometrics, eugenics, statistics, literature, linguistics and society. His novel and play are included for their biographical interest, not for their influence for they sank without trace; there are copies in the British Library but not, it seems, in the main UK university libraries. To see the mass and variety of the publications not included consult the Morant bibliography or the entry in the COPAC catalogue. Over 300 articles can be found on JSTOR.
