Book excerpt: Excerpt from Census of the City of Charleston, South Carolina, for the Year 1861: Illustrated by Statistical Tables The Special Census Committee, empowered by resolution of Council, to have the census taken, and the proper representation in Council apportioned according to the Act of the General Assembly, passed June lst, 1838. Beg leave. Respectfully, to re port: That in obedience to the resolution referred to, your Committee engaged Frederick A. Ford, Esq., for the purpose, who immediately commenced the work, under the plan agreed upon, and having now finished his labors, has delivered the same in manuscript, ready for publication. It would scarcely be required in this report to refer in detail to the accuracy, as far as we can judge, attained, as the work will be published as soon as possible, and will. Therefore, speak for itself. We have only aimed in the discharge of our duty, to present to the community a correct and reliable census, containing such statisti cal information as will be of interest. And more especially, to comply with the Act of the General Assembly, requiring a decennial census to be taken for the purpose of giving to the several Wards their proper representation in Council. It will be seen that our City has increased in population, if not in a rapid, certainly in a per manent and prosperous ratio - a result more gratifying than if it were increased by men: numbers, without our orderly, quiet and law-loving people, which we venture to say cannot be surpassed, if equalled, by any city of its size. A fact so encour aging needs no further comment. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
