Excerpt from First Census of the United States, 1790: ConnecticutA summary of the results of the First Census, not in cluding the returns for South Carolina, was transmitted to Congress by President Washington on October 27, 1791. The legal period for enumeration, nine months, had been extended, the longest time consumed being eighteen months in South Carolina. The report of October 27 was printed in full, and published in what is now a very rare little volume; afterwards the report for South Carolina was tipped in.

No illustration of the expansion of census inquiry can be more striking.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
