Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Report of the Superintendent of the Census: For Dec, 1, 1852; To Which Is Appended the Report for December, 1, 1851 Sir: I have the Honor to report that much the largest portion of the topics embraced within the last Census has been prepared for publication, and that the unfinished parts of those subjects contemplated by the act of Congress are in such a state of forwardness, that their preparation will not interfere with the printing. Had our duties been limited to the preparation of the statistical tables, this work would, ere now, have been completed; but, in addition to our ordinary labors, this office has performed a large amount of work in answering calls from members of Congress, State legislatures, various institutions throughout our country, and the representatives of foreign governments. Many of our reports, in answer to these calls, have been quite voluminous, and several have been printed by authority of State legislatures. The uncertainty which seemed to exist respecting the printing of the Census increased the number of these demands, and induced us the more readily to accede to such requests, especially as they could be complied with without retarding the publication by Congress. In my last annual report was presented a full statement of the population of the United States, together with a portion of the returns of agriculture and manufactures. At the close of the last session of Congress, a report was made respecting the condition of the finances of this office, and its expenditures from its first organization to that date. The classification of the returns has greatly advanced since the commencement of the last session of Congress; and the condition of the work will enable me to present a statement respecting our agricultural resources and the relative increase of our agricultural productions, and to exhibit some facts respecting the value of real and personal estate, education, pauperism, crime, internal improvements, and other topics having an important relation to the welfare and progress of our country. Having obtained, during my visit to Europe last year, from the different government departments, official data respecting the population of other countries, it may be proper to make such information available, to some extent, in this report; and I therefore append tables of the population of several nations, for different periods in the present century, with other statistics of no less interest and importance. It might seem, from an examination of that portion of our statements relating to internal improvements alone, that the attention of our people was directed solely to the means of intercommunication for thought or ideas and the interchange of matter, and that the entire population were concentrating their energies, as it were, in a spasmodic effort to extend railways and telegraphs over the country. A, more general and particular observation, however, will prove that, while these interests have only advanced with the necessities of our people, the subjects of education, morals, and religion have not only not been neglected, but have received their due share of private attention and public consideration.
