'His dogged and loyal work for the Royal Geographical Society and his independent research were always of a high standard, but have not received the recognition they deserve in either England or Germany. Ravenstein was important in improving the standard of British cartography, and his work on migration has influenced demographers, sociologists, and economists, as well as geographers. His work has endured beyond that of many who achieved greater prominence in their lifetime' (ODNB).
