New York Census HOUGH Franklin B. 1822 1885ABAA

Census of the state of New York for 1865.

Prepared from the original returns under the direction of Hon. Francis C. Barlow Secretary of State.

1867M10587Albany:: Charles van Benthuysen & Sons 1867. 1867. 4to. cxxvi 743 pp. Original half maroon morocco over marbled boards raised bands gilt-stamped spine title; joints cracked and extremities rubbed. Inscription on ffep.: "Presented by the Hon EP More Esq to John Service Jr July 21 1869. Bought at the Service auction by George Holmes and presented to HK Smith by George Holmes." Very good. RARE. This massive census was conducted during the Civil War published just 2 years after. "The immense expenditures of the war brought the burden of a heavy debt upon the country which could only be met by taxes upon property and productive incomes and novel schemes were devised by Congress for raising these revenues. As the Census makes inquiries concerning the amount of capital invested in manufactures the cost of materials and labor and the value of products it incidentally discloses the profits of businesses and the amount of incomes. The utmost difficulty was therefore found in many cases in arriving at a correct return upon these several subjects. Men otherwise intelligent would often fail to discern or profess to disbelieve that the Census was not in some way connected with taxation. . ." â€“ Preface. Franklin B. Hough 1822-1885 scientist physician practicing in Somerville in St. Lawrence County New York one-time mineralogist writer and historian. He was most important becoming the first chief of the United States Division of Forestry the predecessor of the United States Forest Service. He was among the first in the US to call attention to the depletion of our forests becoming known as the "father of American forestry". "In 1854 Hough was appointed as superintendent of the 1855 New York State census the first complete census of the state. He returned to Lewis County in 1860 to settle in Lowville New York. The same year he published A history of Lewis County in the state of New York. In 1862 he started a periodical The American Journal of Forestry. Due to a lack of subscribers he retired it after only a year. In 1861 with the advent of the American Civil War Hough worked as an inspector for the United States Sanitary Commission. . . Ten years after supervising the 1855 New York State census Hough returned to the job of overseeing the 1865 state census. Reviewing the returns he noted with alarm a declining trend in the availability of timber. Finding additional evidence in the federal census of 1870 which he also supervised he presented a paper entitled On the Duty of Governments in the Preservation of Forests to the 1873 meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in Portland Maine." Hough then went on to produce the official 1877 Report on Forestry. When the Division of Forestry was established in 1881 he became its first chief. See: "Franklin B. Hough 1822-1885".

Rickman a British government official and statistician drafted the bill that became the 1800 Census Act which established for the first time a national decennial census of Britain's general population. Rickman had been arguing for a national census since at least 1798 claiming that it would provide essential information to Britain's political military and industrial leadersâ€”as well as giving a stimulus to the life insurance business! His arguments were given an additional boost with the publication of Malthus's Essay on the Principle of Population 1798 which spurred concerns about Britain's population and helped to break down resistance to the idea of compiling national population statistics. After the Census Bill passed Rickman helped to carry out the first four British censuses which included not only a population count but also the collection and analysis of parish register returns. .

CENSUS SecondABAA

Return of the Whole Number of Persons within the Several Districts of the United States: According to "An Act Providing for the Second Census or Enumeration of the Inhabitants of the United States" passed February the Twenty Eighth One Thousand Eight Hundred

180234659Washington: The Apollo Press by Wm. Duane & Son 1802. 8vo. 5-88pp. plus folding table. Contemporary marbled paper covered boards rebacked with calf The second American Census. The octavo edition of the complete returns of the second American census the first to be printed by official order following the very rare folio edition of the previous year. When the delegates of the Constitutional Convention met in Philadelphia in 1787 the population of America was a great unknown. Aside from the expected reduction in the male population due to the recent war hoards of Loyalists had fled to Canada while throughout the 1780s large numbers of families sought new opportunities in the frontier along the Ohio. These dramatic shifts combined with a known but unquantified increase in the number of births per annum created a definite need for some sort of official count. Under Madison's leadership six categories were determined for the first American census of 1790: heads of family free white males over sixteen free white males under sixteen free white females other free persons and slaves. Despite the usual hesitancy of the people to offer such personal information to government officials the effort was a resounding success; but due to rapid growth and increased contact with Indians it was clear that the next census would require even more statistical enumeration. In early 1800 Congress passed an act mandating a new census. The present effort contains a new layer of schedules including places of residence new age group brackets for free white males and females and most importantly the qualification that untaxed Indians be left off the roll of "other free persons." All of the states are represented as well as the aforementioned territories and other regions such as the eastern and western districts of Pennsylvania and Virginia and the District of Columbia here noted as part of Virginia. Such luminaries as Thomas Jefferson and Timothy Dwight of Yale called for even more specific information such as economic standing occupation and distinctions between immigrant and natural-born free people; but Congress for now ignored their appeals. The total population with corrections is given as just over 5.3 million. A most important record of the growth of the United States at a key moment in the history of American demography.
