Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Statistical Tables: Relative to the City of Glasgow, With Other Matters Therewith Connected There was no enumeration of the inhabitants of Glasgow that can be relied on, before the year 1610, but there are grounds for supposing that about the time of the Reformation in 1560, the Population might amount to 4500; this estimate of the number is rendered probable from the circumstance, that in 1581, during the ministry of the first Presbyterian Clergyman who officiated in Glasgow, the Confession of Faith was subscribed by 250 individuals, although at that time there were certainly not so many persons in the City who could write, yet they might assent, and even include their children in the number: and the struggle between the professors of the Roman Catholic and Reformed Religion was then so warmly contested, that it is probable their numbers were nearly equal. In 1610, the Episcopal mode of Government having been resumed in the Church, Archbishop Spottiswood directed the Population of the City to be ascertained, when it was found to amount to 7644; although during the plague which raged in Glasgow in 1608, the number of its inhabitants must have been greatly reduced.
