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.

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. </p> .

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. . ." – 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. <br /><br /> 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".

Contemporary half morocco and cloth covered boards marbled endpapers and edges.<br/> <br/> A significant volume of the Tenth Census which greatly expanded the previously used methodologies.<br/> <br/> The Tenth Census was an important census as the methodology was greatly changed from previous years to improve accuracy: census districts were reduced in size many more census marshals were appointed in-person home visits of each household first required and many more fields of inquiry were established. Following a two-volume compendium the printed reports of the census of 1880 cover a wide range of subjects and occupy 22 large quarto volumes with the present volume being the one devoted to agriculture. In this census they greatly expanded inquiries regarding various crops including acreage for principal crops and included questions on farm tenure weeks of hired labor annual cost for fence building and repair fertilizer purchases and the number of livestock.
