Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Abstract of the Census of Massachusetts, 1860, From the Eighth U. S. Census, With Remarks on the Same
An examination of the following tables, and the gen eral remarks which accompany them, will show that during the last decade the population of the Common wealth has exhibited a uniform and steady advance, and that in this respect it continues to hold a prominent and honorable position among its Sister States.
The table giving the name of each city and town in the Commonwealth, with the dates of their incorpora tion, - and also noting changes in their several boundary lines, - has been prepared, with much care and labor, principally from official documents in this department, and will undoubtedly prove of very general convenience and utility. Such a compilation has long been needed, as an aid to the many persons engaged in local historical investigations, and others, and its publication will relieve this department from no small amount of labor.
