Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Statistical View of the Population of Massachusettsx: From 1765 to 1840
Population is only one of the elements which constitute a community; still it is an essential element, and one to which all interests are subservient. By the increase or de crease of the inhabitants, and by the changes in their num ber and proportions in the several parts of a country, we may, to some extent, judge of the state of all the other ele ments of society.
We feel an interest in what relates to population, as well as in what concerns the physical condition of the people, their morals, their education, their civil institutions, and their future prospects.
In the several enumerations which have been taken of the people of this Commonwealth, it can hardly be expect ed that the numbers are perfectly correct; but they may be regarded as sufficiently so for the general purposes of comparison, and especially for showing that the increase in and near Boston, has been much greater than in the other parts of the state.
