A significant volume of the Tenth Census which greatly expanded the previously used methodologies.

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.

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 leaders—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.

1787ref. 135132Madrid: En la Imprenta Real 1787. First nationwide Spanish census First edition of Spain's first nationwide census the census of 1787. The first census in Spain was undertaken in Castile as early as 1594 and there was a census of the Spanish Empire in 1776 but this was the first which embraced the whole country. It is sometimes known as the Census of Floridablanca after the reformist prime minister Count Floridablanca under whom it was undertaken from 1785 to 1787. The 43 tables list the regions of Spain alphabetically from Andalucia to Valencia but also include the Balearic and Canary Islands. The data accounts for the number of persons their ages religious affiliation and social status. The final population count is 10409879. Although the census did display modern demographic techniques the attempts to classify the population on class and occupation proved too rudimentary - servants were not classified in any consistent way and the scope of the hidalgo class varied considerably from region to region. Even so the census was a considerable demographic achievement and remains studied in modern Spanish demography; it is considered more accurate than the subsequent Spanish census of 1797.

1802ref. 34659Washington: 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.
