(3E0iiintontocaIt% 0( SJassaclusUls. Secrktart's Department, Boston, December 1, 1863. } The following pages have been prepared under the authority of Resolve chapter 13 of the year one thousand eight hundred and sixty, entitled a " Resolve to authorize the preparation of statistics exhibiting the progress of the Commonwealth ; " — of which the following is a copy : " Resolved, That tlie secretary of the Commonwealth be authorized to prepare an abstract of the returns of the national census to be made the present year, in printed form, similar to the abstract of the census of the Commonwealth, taken in the year one thousand eight hundred and fifty- five." A delay of several months beyond the time specified for depositing a copy of the official returns in this de- partment, and the largely increased amount of labor expended in its preparation, has necessarily deferred the publication of the document longer than was at fii'st expected. It is believed, however, that the thorough and comprehensive manner in which the abstract has been prepared, will amply compensate for the comparative delay. iv ADVERTISEMENT. Although the returns will compare very favorably with those of preceding censuses, in pomt of general correct- ness, yet theii- many needless imperfections and irregu- larities force the conclusion that sufficient attention is not yet given to the qualifications of those selected as enume- rators. It is true, that most of these imperfections and discrepancies, are confined to minor matters ; but as a large share of the value of such returns depends upon the correctness and completeness of the details, it is im- portant that persons selected for this responsible duty should possess special qualifications for such labors. In view, however, of the increasing interest m the subject of statistics, it may reasonably be expected that each succeeding census will be taken with greater care and precision than its predecessor. An examination of the following tables, and the gen- eral remarks which accompany them, will show that during the last decade the population of the Common- wealth has exhibited a uniform and steady advance, and that in this respect it continues to hold a prominent and honorable position among its sister States. The table giving the name of each cit}- and toAvn in the Commonwealth, with the dates of their incorpora- tion, — and also noting changes in theu* several boundary lines, — has been prepared, with much care and labor, principally from official documents in this department, and will undoubtedly prove of very general convenience and utility. Such a compilation has long been needed, as an aid to the many persons engaged in local historical investigations, and others, and its publication will relieve this department from no small amount of labor. ADVERTISEMENT. T The publication, for the first time in an official form, of the first regular census of Massachusetts, — that of 1764-5, — will, it is believed, give additional interest and value to the document, as a work for reference. Through the kindness of Hon. J. C. G. Kennedy, Superintendent of the United States Census, the first five tables of the abstract were copied in the census office, Washington, upon blanks prepared in this department, and forwarded for that purpose. For this, and other courtesies to the Commonwealth, the Superintendent is entitled to our warmest thank's. With the above exception, the abstracts, and the gen- eral remarks which accompany them, have been compiled in this office, by Geo. Wingate Chase, to whom was assigned the labor of their preparation and publication, and whose experience and fidelity in similar labors authorize me to submit the work to the public in full confidence that it will prove both useful and accept- able.

Before proceeding to a consideration of the Census of Massa- chusetts, as presented in the preceding tables, it will not be irrelevant to the general subject to notice the changes which have been made from time to time in the territorial limits of the cities and towns of the Commonwealth. These changes have been of almost annual occurrence since the establishment of the Colony, but no complete list or table of them has ever been published by the Commonwealth, though several documents have noted the changes which have taken place during certain limited periods. Thus, the Abstract of the Census of 1855, contains the principal changes in the territorial limits of cities and towns between 1850 and 1855 ; and the published documents of the Valuation Committee of 1860, note the changes which occurred between 1850 and 1860. For future reference, and that persons engaged in statistical investigations relating to the population of the State, may be advised of the numerous changes which have taken place, and for the purpose of furnishing proper data for deducing calcula- tions, and making comparisons between the several censuses, the following table has been prepared. It gives the name of each city and town in the Commonwealth, the date of incorpo- ration, — as far as the same distinctly appears from the records, — many of the original, or Indian names of places previous to incorporation, and also the changes in the boundary lines. 216 CENSUS OF MASSACHUSETTS, 1860.

Censuses of Massachusetts. — As early as October 27, 1647, the General Court ordered that the commissioner and select- men of each town " shall make a list of all males from sixteen years old and upward." These lists were to be made annually, and were devised as " a more equal and ready way of raising moneys for defraying public charges." May 23, 1655, it was " Ordered, the Secretary shall issue out warrants to the con- stables of the several towns within this jurisdiction, to send him a true list of all the males, within tbeir respective towns, from sixteen years of age to sixty, before the first of August next." Tbe object of the measure was to supply the govern- ment of the United Colonies with data, so as to apportion the share of its expense, payable by Massachusetts.* This method of estimating polls in our State taxes, has been continued in every similar assessment since. Census of 1765. — The first movement for a general Census of Massachusetts, was begun in 1763. On the 2d of June, of that year. Governor Bernard communicated a message to the General Court to the following effect : — 'O " I am directed by the Lords of Trade, to take a particular account of the number of the people of this Province, with all proper distinc- tions thereof. I am desirous to have this done with the utmost exact- ness, as such information will be of great use to the Government of this Province as well as of his Majesty's ministers. I therefore propose to have the returns of the several towns made upon oath, according to a form issued for this purpose. And as I apprehend these orders will be more effectual, if they are issued under the authority of the whole legislature, I recommend this affair to your consideration." After considerable delay, an Order was passed, February 2, 1764, directing the selectmen of each town and district to " take an exact account of the number of dwelling-houses, * In the contract agreed on, in 1643, by the United Colonies of New England, it was provided that the charges of all just wars should be borne by the several Colonies in proportion to the " number of all the males in eury Plantacon, or any way belonging to or under their seuerall jurisdiccons, of what quallyty or condicou soeuer they bee, from sixteenc yeares old to threescore, being inhab- itants therein." GENERAL REMARKS. 251 families, and people, in their respective towns and districts, including as well Indians civilized, negroes and mulattos, as •white people, and females as well as males, and distinguishing them in this form, namely : — White people under sixteen years, | pg.„oi'eg . , . , ( Males, Above sixteen, . . . j ^,^^,1,^^ Families, ....

( Males, Indians, . . . . • 1 tti i ' ( Jj emales, The returns were ordered to be made by the last day of the following December, but they were not, however, completed until the latter part of May, 1765. This was the first attempted complete census of the population of Massachusetts, preceding, by a little more than twenty-five years, the first United States Census. In this census are mentioned 184 towns within the present limits of Massachusetts, two of which — Dracut and Hanover — made no returns. Two other towns — Paxtoii and Sharon — having been incorporated in 1765, are presumed to have been included in Rutland and Stoughton, from which towns they were respectively set off. Besides these 186 towns, there were 14 other towns, or districts, incorporated before the close of the year 1765, which seem not to have been included in this census. By substituting for the population of these 16 towns, whose returns are not included in the census of 1765, their population as contained in the United States Census of 1790, — considering their increase during the intervening period as an offset to the population of the incorporated settlements not required to be returned in the census of 1765, — we shall have a very near approximation to the true number in 1765. Accordingly, we estimate the number of inhabitants in Massachusetts in 1765, at 244,149, exclusive of 1,569 Indians. The original returns of this census are not now to be found in the archives of the Commonwealth, and were never officially 252 CENSUS OF MASSACHUSETTS, 1860. published. In 1822, Judge Samuel Dana sent a manuscript to the editor of the " Columbian Centinel," Boston, with a note of the following tenor : — " Mr. Russell, — Among the papers of a deceased friend, which lately came into my hands, I found a Census, purporting to have been taken in the years 17G4-5. * * * * _^s dijg document carries with it marks of accuracy, and has only three or four defects, I have sent it to you for publication entire, in order to multiply the number of copies, and gratify the curious. After which I wish, through you, to present the original to the Antiquarian Society, that it may be deposited in their archives." The manuscript was published in the " Centinel" of August 17, 1822, from which the following table has been copied, in full, excepting the totals of the respective towns, which were not computed in the original manuscript. It will be noticed that in this table negroes and Indians are not distinguished by sex, though the act providing for the census required the distinction. An old manuscript, professing to give the totals of this census, and other statistics, does, however, make the distinction, so that we may safely conclude it was made in the original returns. According to the last named manuscript, the number of negroes and Indians was as follows : — Male Negroes, . . . 2,998 Female "... . . 2,216 Total, .... 5,214 Male Indians, .... 656 Female " .... 827 Total, .... 1,493 This, it will be seen, gives 99 negroes, and 76 Indians, less than the number returned according to the table published in the " Centinel.' The published table is, without doubt, the most reliable.

Census of 1776. — On the 26th of December, 1775, Congress provided that " the proportion or quota " of each colony, in the bills of credit to be redeemed, should " be determined accord- ing to the number of inhabitants of all ages, including negroes and mulattoes, in each colony," and recommended to the sev- eral colonies to take measures to secure such an enumeration. Agreeably to this recommendation, a resolve, — providing for such an enumeration of the inhabitants of the colony, — passed the legislature of Massachusetts on the 16th of February, 1776. The schedule adopted included four particulars, as follows : — " The names of the Heads of each Family; the number of White People in each Family ; the number of Negroes and Mulattoes in each Family ; whole number in each Family." A separate schedule, embracing the same particulars, was provided for the unincorporated places. In a communication reported to the legislature, in 1782, by a committee, reference is made to this census, as follows : — " A very accurate account of the number of souls within this Commonwealth, was taken in the year 1776, at which time the whites amounted to 338,627." The only township returns of this census known at the pres- ent time, are contained in a manuscript already alluded to, and which is considered credible authority. It gives the total number of whites in that year, as 333,418, including 47,279 belonging to the Province of Maine ; or 286,139 in Massachu- setts alone. By adding 4,761 as the whole number of blacks, — excluding 241 belonging in Maine, — we have 290,900 as the total population of the colony in 1776. It will be seen that the total number of whites reported in the above-mentioned communication, is 5,254 viore than that given in the manuscript, — from which the following table has been prenared : — GENERAL REMARKS. 263 White Population of 3Iassachusetts, according to the Colonial Census of 1776.

This being communicated to the legislature of Massachusetts, was placed in the hands of a committee for consideration, who subsequently submitted a report, of which the following is an extract. It was dated February 20, 1782 : — " Resolved, That His Excellency the Governor be requested to write to Congress upon the subject, and the following estimate to be enclosed : A very accurate account of the number of souls within this Common- wealth was taken in the year 1776, at which time the whites amounted to 338,627, — and as there was a general valuation taken of all the polls, ratable and not ratable, whether at home or abroad, in 1772, 1778, and 1781, — it is supposed a more accurate list of the number of whites cannot be had than from the said returns. In 1772, the polls, ratable and not ratable, were 71,728; in 1776, 75,300; and the number of whites were 333,850. In 1778, the polls, ratable and not ratable, at home and abroad, were 76,854; multiplied by A\, as in the first instance, make the white inhabitants 345,843. In 1781, the polls, ratable and not ratable, at home and abroad, amount to 79,645, which make the white inhabitants, upon the same estimation, to be 348,402. The polls, GENERAL REMARKS. 267 ratable and not ratable, include all kinds of male persons, from 16 to 100 years of age, including blacks, whether in hospitals, almshouses, or however decrepid or infirm." The report so made was accepted by the House, but not by the Senate, and between the two the matter dropped. February 17, 1783, Congress resolved " that the legislature of each State be and they are hereby required to take such measures as shall appear to them most effectual for obtaining a just and accurate account of the quantity of land in such State, granted to or surveyed for any person, the number of buildings thereon, distinguishing dwelling-houses from other buildings, and the number of its inhabitants, distinguishing white from black," &c. In answer to this resolve, an Act was passed by the legislature of Massachusetts, July 2, 1784, requiring assessors of towns to furnish the Secretary of the Common- wealth with returns of these particulars. The General Court, in a letter dated February 14, 1786, observed that returns of the people had been made to the secretary's office, and that there were 352,171 whites, and 4,371 blacks ;— total, 356,542. According to Dr. Belknap, the population of Massachusetts, as returned by the census of 1784, was as follows : Whites, 353,133 ; negroes and mulattoes, 4,377 ; total, 357,510. The number of polls in Massachusetts in 1784 was 91,546, including 13,723 in the Province of Maine, and 789 polls maintained by towns. In 1790, the National Government proceeded to take a census of the whole country, under its own immediate direction, agreeably to the power conferred by the constitution, as already noticed. In 1836, the people of Massachusetts adopted an amendment to the State constitution, which based the election of repre- sentatives on a certain proportion of ratable polls, and pro- vided for a census of the ratable polls to be taken in 1837, and every tenth year thereafter. In 1840, a new amendment to the constitution was ratified by the people, which changed the basis of representation from ratable polls to total population. It provided that " A census 268 CENSUS OF MASSACHUSETTS, 1860. of the inhabitants of each city and town, on the first day of May, shall be taken and returned into the secretary's office, on or before the last day of June, of the year one thousand eight hundred and forty, and of every tenth year thereafter ; which census shall determine the apportionment of senators and representatives for the term of ten years." Under this provision of the constitution censuses were taken in 1840, and 1850. These censuses were not, however, complete enumerations of the population of the State, as the legislative Act prescribing the details for taking them distinctly provided that " Slate paupers and co7ivicts in the State prison shall not be numbered ; also, the inmates of the several hospitals, jails and houses of correction, and the students in colleges, academies and high schools shall not be numbered in the census of towns to which they do not belong." The total number of inhabitants returned by the State census of 1840 was 719,364, which is 18,335 less than the number returned by the United States census of the same year. The total number returned by the State enumeration of 1850 was 973,654, which is 20,860 less than the number returned by the United States census of that year. The discrepancy is doubt- less principally accounted for by the above mentioned exceptions in the State enumeration. A part of it may, perhaps, have been occasioned by the omissions which would naturally occur in the attempt to enumerate students, inmates of hospitals, etc., in the manner prescribed by the Act above quoted. The number of State paupers in 1840, as returned by the overseers of the poor in the several cities and towns, was 5,271, which, after adding the convicts in the State prison, would still leave a difference of about 13,000 to be accounted for. The number of State paupers in 1850 was 16,058, and of inmates of the State prison, 393. These, added to the State census of the same year, make a total of 990,105, or within 4,409 of the number returned by the United States census of that year. In this connection, it appears proper to mention one or two facts connected with the National census returns of Massachu- setts for 1840, which will account for a large part of the discrepancy above noted. The State census of that year was taken in May, and the National census in June — one month later. By the former, the aggregate population of the city of GENERAL REMARKS. 269 Boston was returned as 84,401 ; while by the latter it was 93,383 ; — a difference of 8,982. In this case, the discrepancy cannot be charged to the omission of State paupers and convicts in the State census, as the enumeration for that city included paupers and all others not required by law. Subsequent inves- tigations developed the fact tliat 7,357 of this difference occurred in the returns of Ward 2 alone. The enumerators for the National census counted all the names of persons which appeared on the books of certain sailor boarding-houses, for the previous three years, and included them among inhabitants of Boston, whether they had been there one or more days, and whether they belonged to Boston, or elsewhere. Two families contained, according to this estimate, over 1,000 each, and others from 100 to 600 each. The marines on board the ship Columbus, then lying in Boston harbor, numbering 583, were also enumer- ated with the inhabitants of Boston. This mode of computation gave Boston 10,921 persons, as employed in navigation, while New York, with far more extensive commerce, but a more correct method of enumeration, had only 2,786 employed in the same service. The errors in the above named ward alone would reduce the total difference between the two censuses to less than 6,000 ; while the total difference for the city would reduce the aggregate to a little more than 4,000, — or about the same as in 1850.

Census of 1855.— On 21st day of May, 1855, an Act was passed for securing a census of the inhabitants of each city and town of the Commonwealth, as follows : — " An Act to secure a decennial census. Be it enacted hy the Senate and House of Representatives, in Geyieral Court assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows: — Section 1. A census of the inhabitants of each city and town of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts shall be taken between the first day of June and the first day of October, as to existing facts on the first day of June, in the year one thousand eight hundred and fifty-five, and also in the year one thousand eight hundred and sixty-five, and in each tenth year thereafter. Sect. 2. This enumeration shall distinguish the males and the females, and the color of each ; the natives and the foreigners, and of the latter the country in which they were bom ; and it shall determine the ages of the population within decennial periods. Sect. 3. This enumeration shall be made by and under the authority of the mayor and aldermen of the respective cities, and the selectmen of the respective towns, and shall be made by sworn agents, as contain- ing all the facts above specified, in respect to the several cities and towns, and shall be returned into the office of the secretary of the Commonwealth, on or before the first day of October, in the year eighteen hundred and fifty-five, and in each tenth year thereafter. And the secretary of the Commonwealth shall transmit to the mayor and aldermen and the selectmen aforesaid, printed blanks, to secure uniformity in the returns." Under this Act a census of the State was taken the same year. This census of 1855 differed from those of 1840 and 1850 in that it allowed no exceptions in the enumeration. The instructions were explicit : — « All public buildings, as hotels, hospitals, asylums, houses of industry, houses of correction, jails, schools, &c., are to be included in the enumera- tion in the same manner as houses. * * * « Let the name of every inmate of every house be distinctly written." The schedule adopted embraced the following particulars : — 1. — Dwelling-houses numbered in the order of visitation. 2. — FamiHes numbered in the order of visitation. 3. — The name of every person whose usual place of abode on the first day of June, 1855, was in this family.

CENSUS OF MASSACHUSETTS, 1860. The advantages to be derived from the publication of a carefully prepared summary, or abstract, of the census of Mas- sachusetts, from the returns of the National Census of 1860, induced the State legislature of that year to make provision for its compilation and publication. The following Resolve, — reported by a joint committee, — having unanimously passed the two branches, received the executive approval on the first day of March of the same year : — Resolved, That the secretary of the Commonwealth be authorized to prepare an abstract of the returns of the national census to be made the present year, in printed form, similar to the Abstract of the Census of the Commonwealth taken in the year one thousand eight hundred and fifty-five. This action of the legislature completes the inauguration of a regular quinquennial series of documents relating to the pop- ulation of the Commonwealth, as exhibited in the returns of the decennial National and State Censuses ; — of which the Abstract of the State Census of 1855 was the initiatory volume ; — and if persevered in, as it undoubtedly will be, cannot fail to add largely to the general stock of information concerning the vital statistics of our population. In order, however, to reap the full benefit that may be derived from the original returns, these documents should include abstracts of all the schedules, — including the statistics of agriculture, manufactures, &c., as well as those of population. The Abstract of the State census of 1855 was published in two volumes, or parts : the one already alluded to — relating to population, and another, of 658 octavo pages, relating exclusively to the " Industry " of the State. As the secretary of the Commonwealth did not feel authorized, under the Resolve of 1860, to include other statistics than those of GENERAL REMARKS. 285 population in the abstract ordered, the present volume includes all that have been prepared for publication. But as there seems no good reason why the important interests of agriculture, manufactures, and general industry, should be overlooked, it is hoped that future legislatures will make adequate provisions for full and complete abstracts of all the schedules embraced in the official returns. In this way only can a true exhibit of " the progress of the Commonwealth " be made ; and the repre- sentatives of the interests in question will hardly consent to a continuation of any plan which fails to recognize their proper value and importance. Aggregate Population. The whole number of the inhabitants of the Commonwealth, on the first day of June, 1860, according to the returns of the Eighth United States Census, was 1,231,066. Of this number, 596,713 were males, and 631,353 were females. Of the total population, 4,469 were colored males, and 5,133 were colored females. The Indians of the Commonwealth, of whom but 32 were returned — exclusive of those in the District of Marshpee — are included in the tables with the white population. Of the 32 returned, 23 are included in the returns of Boston, in Suffolk County, and 9 in Sturbridge, Worcester County. The whole number of white males was 592,244, and of white females, 629,220. This gives 1,221,465 as the total white population, and 9,602 as the total colored population of the Commonwealth at the date of the official enumeration. The above figures agree with the final revision of the popula- tion tables by the Census Bureau, at Washington, but differ from those published in the preceding pages, in the following particulars : The revision gives one less white male in Bristol County ; transposes eight white males to the column of white females in Suffolk County ; and adds one male and nine females to the colored population of Plymouth County. The following table gives the aggregate population of the State, as exhibited in the final revision above mentioned, — distinguishing by sex and color, and arranged by counties : — 286 CENSUS OF MASSACHUSETTS, 1860.

In aggregate popula- tion, it ranks as the seventh; — New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois, Virginia, and Indiana, preceding it in order. In the number of inhabitants to the square mile, it ranks as the Jirst ; and it stands at the head of the list in the absolute increase of population per square mile from 1790 to 1860, and also from 1850 to 1860. The number of inhabitants to the square mile in the State, according to the census of 1860, is 157.83. The total increase of population per square mile, from 1790 to 1860, was 109.29 per cent. ; and the total increase per square mile from 1850 to 1860, was 30.33 per cent. According to the First United States Census, of 1790, Massa- chusetts ranked as the fourth State of the Union in respect to aggregate population. In 1800, it ranked as the fifth, the GENERAL REMARKS. 287 increase of its population during the preceding ten years being 11.63 per cent. In 1810, it again ranked as the fifth, the increase also being as before, 11.63 per cent. In 1820, it had decluied to the seventh in rank, the increase being 10.85 per cent. In 1830, it ranked as the eighth, the increase being 16.65 per cent. In 1840, it still ranked as the eighth, the increase of population being 20.85 per cent. In 1850, it had advanced to the sixth in population, the increase being 34.81 per- cent. In 1860, it had again declined to the seventh in rank, the increase being 23.79 per cent. The average decen- nial increase of the population of the State from 1790 to 1860, according to the several United States censuses, has been 18.61 per cent. Compared with the sixteen other States included in the census of 1790, Massachusetts in 1800 ranked as the tenth State of the Union in regard to the per cent, of increase in population during that decennial period. Compared with the nineteen other States included in the census of 1800, Massachusetts in 1810 ranked as the^;fef;w^/iin regard to the preceding decennial increase of population. Of the twenty-four States in 1810, Massachusetts in 1820 ranked as the seventeenth in the same particular. Of the twenty-six States in 1820, it ranked in 1830 as the eighteenth. Of the twenty-seven States in 1830, it ranked in 1840 as the sixteenth. Of the twenty-nine States in 1840, it ranked in 1850 as the tenth. Of the thirty-three States in 1850, it ranked in 1860 as the 7iineteenth. Compared with the other New England States, Massachusetts ranks as the fourth in superficial area ; the first in aggregate population ; i\\Q first in population to the square mile ; the tldrd in average decennial increase of population from 1790 to 1860 ; the first in absolute increase of population from 1790 to 1860 ; and the first in absolute increase of population from 1850 to 1860 ; — as may be seen from the following table : — 288 CENSUS OF MASSACHUSETTS, 1860. Area and Population of the New Enigland States. It will thus be seen that the Commonwealth, in its statistics of aggregate population, compares favorably with the other States of the Union, and holds a prominent, and even leading position among them. The following table exhibits the aggregate population of the several Counties of the Commonwealth, according to the several United States Censuses, from 1790 to 1860, inclusive, with the per cent, of decennial increase or decrease of each ; and also the average decennial increase of each County during the same period : — GENEEAL REMARKS. 289 s 5D s Si, o 00 o ^, Hi 8 •S ^ CO ira oo 00 o 00 CO CD -*< CD o h- CO Oi rH •0981 0? 06LI O iH C5 lO 1-; 00 oo CD CO CD o CO 1^ Cl CD r-H oi CO •i 1-5 1-1 CO CM CO 1 CO CI r^ tA T-i in 1-^ CI CI 1 CO CO r-i oo CO ci Cl CO CI o O '^ CO rH ■* CO CO -* •^ o 00 o 03 CD 03 (N 03 o rH CO CO CI in C5 in CO o in CO o 1—1 t- -!(< CO ■*_ CO 00 CO o_ o 1-;^ 1- CD^ o lo" >o co" -*" in" r-T h-^ h-" co" cd~ o" -^ cf cT rH C3 lO C5 CD CO in CO rH o CO o in CO H 7-{ CI 1— 1 rH rH Cl tA' •0581 oj Of'SI 00 C3 CO o CI -* -V in t- rH CO CO C3 Cl T-i CO t-; CO r-; C) rH CI CO oo CI -* in 00 Cl 00 •out -^uoo aa J 00 00 CO '^ 00 h-^ h^ iri tA CD oo ^-^ O r^ -(< iH (M T-i oo OO T-i in 1 -* iH in CO CO , CD iH (M o o O oo Cl CO Cl Cl 1— r- C5 -# o r- C5 02 -n o J^ 00 CO 00 m (35 05 T-i 00 rH 10 (M lO tH lO_ CO 00 CI_ t~-_ co^ -* OO CO in 1^ in oc in" oT cd" -*" 1— ( o" T-i in" rH oo" oo" in -rh o" -* H CO ■* i~ oo CO in CO CO 1- m -f CO 05 rH rH T-I T-i 05 ■om o; oesi -t< iH rH CO CO CD o CI -*H oo o in CD C3 m rH t-; CO iO CD h- T-i T-i ^-- rH CD o q o 00 •out •;n30 aaa ^5 o rH ci -h ci CO CI co iii CD o -H ci o iH 1-1 c\ rH T-i T-i CO Cl Cl T-I in 1— 1 Cl 9 00 ira ifi 00 t~ CI CO t- T-i Cl o CO CO CO o -*< -* CO lO 00 T~i CO 05 T-i rH -f t- i^ rH o ^ "^ 1^ rH 05_ C5 00_ oo 00 CD O 1-1^ CO i-_^ C0__ I-- » of i-T o" co" -*" oo" J-^ o" co" a co" 1^ in" in" 1^ H CO ^ CO a> CI 00 CO O T-i in ■* a> a> CO •OgSI 0? 0J8t lO' i-( CI CO 00 CI rH o o 00 00 CO t- t- in CO CO CN 00 03 t-; 05 CI 00 oo o 00 '* in CD •oui •jnaaaaj oi CD rH CO C5 ci -* CD l' in ci rH -* CO rH (M 1-1 tH T-i CI 1 iH rH •^ T-i T-i «■ -* CD (M t^ C5 o C5 -* rH Cl CI -* CO in 00 tH O 05 r-^ in oo OO m CD o h- -* CO in o M »o 1— lO^ in 00 co__ CO CI_ 03 CI_ Oi O^ rH__ CO ■>* ■ « 00 t^ cf oo CI oT rH o" »~ *-^ rH co" Cl" -n o H CI CO "*! 00 CI CO CO t^ ^ -* CD 00 T-i CO ■or,8i o; 0I8I 1^ o CD o ~¥ 03 •rH »^ -* -* Cl 00 O Cl in 1-1 CD o o OO CI 1-; 00 '*. »~; t-; "* 00 t 00 •oui •;u80 jaj 00 1 CD rH 00 t-5 1^ CD rH CO ■ CD rH 00 Cl CO rH o T-i e CO o 00 CI in 00 1— 1 1— CI CD rH CO o in t- 1^ O C5 in r-i CI 00 l^ CD r^ CO •^ Cl 00 n o lO^ 05 CJ co^ -*__ o ^^ rH_ Cl_ ■*_ T-i^ 05 CD CI m -+■ ira" o" co" -:»<" C^ oo" ccT T-i 1^ cd" oo" co" CO oo H (N CO -* »^ c» Cl c» CO CO CO ■* t^ Cl in •0I8X 0} 0081 (M 00 o T-{ t- CD oo CO oo 00 o 00 00 h- oo T— ( c; t^ lO H< CI o CJ -* T-i 00 rH 00 O CD •OUI •^uao aa J »6 7—1 CO o in T-\ -* -^ t-^ ci T-I rH CI rH o oo 00 CO rH rH , T-l ^^ 00 o 00 T-I rH 00 05 t^ in 05 rH o O O ■l-( 00 CO OS oo CI CI in 00 o HH CO OO tH ':£.

From the foregoing table it will be seen, that, while the general increase of the population of the Commonwealth, from 1790 to 1800, was 11.63 per cent., that of the several counties varied from 4,50 below, to 37.21 above the number returned at the date first mentioned, — a difference of forty-two per cent. In all the counties, except one, there was an actual gain in population. In Dukes County, there was an aggregate loss of 147, equal to 4,50 per cent, of its population. In Plymouth County, the increase was only 1,77 per cent. ; while in Suffolk, the increase was equal to 37.21 per cent. Of the fourteen coun- ties in the State, eight fell below the general average of increase. These were — Dukes, 4.50 loss; and Plymouth, 1.77; Essex, 5.67 ; Bristol, 6,84 ; Worcester, 7,71 ; Middlesex, 9.80 ; Barn- stable, 11,11 ; and Berkshire, 11.44 per cent, increase, respec- tively. The largest per cent, of increase during this period, — and also during four of the other six decennial periods included in the table, — is to be found in the county of Suffolk, and may be accounted for by the various causes which usually attend the building up of large cities. The region bordering on the Connecticut River, and comprising the counties of Franklin, Hampden, and Hampshire, shows an increase of 21,76 per cent., which was the largest in the State, except Suffolk, and may be ascribed to the attractions of its rich agricultural lands. The large proportionate increase in tlie county of Nantucket, 21.58 per cent., was doubtless due to the increasing value and impor- tance of its whale fisheries. While the aggregate per cent, of increase in the population of the State during the second decennial period, was the same as ' during the first period, it will be seen that the growth of the several counties varied largely from that of the first decade. None of the counties suffered an actual loss of population, while the smallest gain, — Hampden, — was 4.08 per cent. Six of the counties, as before, exceeded the average per cent, of increase. These were,— Suffolk, 33.33 ; Nantucket, 21.18 ; Essex, 17.47 ; Barnstable, 15.12 ; Norfolk, 14.80 ; and Middlesex, 12,48. The large proportionate increase in the counties of Suffolk and Nantucket, may be accounted for as before. The increased gain in Dukes County, and also in Barnstable, may perhaps be principally due to the extension of the cod fisheries during that period. The most notable change, however, occurs in the GENERAL EEMARKS. 291 region before mentioned as included in the counties of Frank- lin, Hampden, and Hampshire. These made an average gain of only 5.21 per cent., against their former increase of 21.76 per cent., — a difference of 16,55 per cent. This was probably due to two causes, — first, the previous settlement of the most desirable lands for agricultural purposes, and consequent turn- ing of the tide of emigration in other directions ; and second, to the rapid increase in manufactures and the mechanic arts in other parts of the State, which would naturally check the stream of emigration to the more strictly agricultural sections. The same causes doubtless exerted an influence in Berkshire County, which fell below its previous decennial gain 5.16 per cent. The county of Essex, it will be seen, increased 17.47 per cent., a gain of 11.80 per cent, over its rate of increase during the preceding period. This increase was no doubt largely due to the extension of its manufactures, which would not only tend to discourage emigration, but would encourage immigration. The rate of increase of the population of the State from 1810 to 1820 was 10.85 per cent., which is .78 per cent, less than during either of the preceding periods. The largest gain, as before, was in Suffolk County, the increase being 27.80 per cent. The only cownty in which there was an actual loss in population, was Berkshire, amounting to an aggregate of 217 persons, and equal to .60 per cent. Dukes County during this period made an aggregate gain of two persons. Five counties only exceeded the average rate of increase, viz. : Suffolk, 27.80 ; Norfolk, 16.72 ; Middlesex, 16.44 ; Hampden, 14.74 ; and Worcester, 13.42 per cent., respectively. The increase in Essex County was but 3.84 per cent., against 17.47 per cent, gain during the period immediately preceding ; and the increase in Nantucket County was but 6.74 per cent., against 21.18 per cent, for the preceding period. Barnstable County also fell below its preceding rate of increase 6.95 per cent. The disturbing influences of the " War of 1812" were no doubt the principal causes of the relative decline in these counties. Fi-om 1820 to 1830 the aggregate rate of increase in the pop- ulation of the State was 16.65 per cent., an increase of 5.80 per cent, over that of the preceding decennial period. Four counties exceeded the average gain, viz. : Suffolk, 41.47 ; Mid- 292 CENSUS OF MASSACHUSETTS, 1860. dlesex, 26.80 ; Bristol, 21.22 ; and Barnstable, 18.65 per cent., respectively. Nantucket County alone experienced an actual decline in population, — amounting to .88 per cent., — equal to 7.62 per cent, decline from its rate of increase for the period immediately preceding, and 17.38 per cent, decline from the average increase of the three preceding decennial periods. This continvied decline was no doubt largely caused, as above mentioned, by the disturbing influences of the war, from the effects of which the recovery was necessarily slow, on account of the peculiar nature of the leading occupation of the popula- tion. The large actual and relative increase in the population of Barnstable County, is to be accounted for principally by the increased profit and large extension of the cod fisheries during that decennial period. The operation of the same cause proba- bly contributed, in some degree, toward the continued decline in the population of Nantucket for the same period. The large relative increase in Middlesex, Bristol, and Essex Counties, was most probably due to the rapid extension of manufactures, and the mechanic arts, in those counties, after the close of the war already referred to, — stimulated as these had been by the same state of things which had proved unfavorable to the county of Nantucket. Tlie aggregate increase in the population of the Common- wealth, from 1830 to 1840, was 20.85 percent., — nearly double that of any former period, except the one immediately preceding. The largest increase during this period, — as also during each of those which had preceded it, — was in Suffolk County ; it being no less than 54.06 per cent. Of the remaining four counties which exceeded the general average rate of increase, Middlesex showed a gain of 36.74 ; Norfolk, 26.60 ; Nantucket, 25.13 ; and Bristol, 21.31 per cent., respectively. The large proportionate increase in the population of Middlesex, may be principally attributed to the rapid growth of its manufactures. Of the 28,650 aggregate increase in the county, 14,322, or fifty per cent., was made in the city of Lowell alone, — its population having increased from 6,474 to 20,796 during tliat period. Tiie large gain in the population of Nantucket, — from .88 per cent, decline, to 25.13 per cent, increase, — was clearly due to the extension of its principal business during the same period. The relative decrease in the gain of Hampshire County, — amounting GENERAL REMARKS. • 293 to 12.17 per cent, less than that of the preceding period, — may perhaps be principally accounted for by the increased attrac- tions of manufactures and the mechanic arts in the adjacent county of Hampden, and to the strong tide of emigration to the West during this period. From 1840 to 1850 the aggregate increase in the population of the State was 34.81 per cent. This was 13.96 per cent, more tlian the decennial increase during any preceding period, and 11.01 per cent, more than that from 1850 to 1860. Large as was this aggregate rate of increase, it was exceeded by the increase in six of the counties. These were, — Middlesex, 51.37 ; Suffolk, 50.89 ; Norfolk, 48.46 ; Essex, 38.22 ; Hamp- den, 37.24 ; and Worcester, 37.22 per cent., respectively. For the first time, Suffolk County failed to head the list of counties in the rate of decennial increase, although its gain was more tlian fifty per cent. It is worthy of note, that the higliest rate of increase during this period, was in those counties most largely engaged in manufactures and the mechanic arts. The only county in which there was an actual loss of population, was Nantucket, in which the decline was 560 persons, or 6.21 per cent. ; — equal to 31.34 per cent, decline from its rate of increase during the period immediately preceding. From 1850 to 1860 the aggregate rate of increase for the Commonwealth was 23.79 per cent. This was the second highest rate of increase of the several periods from 1790 to 1860, and was 5.18 per cent, above the average aggregate decennial increase for the same period. The largest increase during this period was in the county of Norfolk, amounting to 39.36 per cent. The next largest was Suffolk County, — 33.34 per cent. ; the third, Middlesex, showed a gain of 27.24 per cent. ; and the fourth, Essex, an increase of 26.13 per cent. These were the only counties which exceeded the average rate of increase during that decennial period. Two counties, Dukes and Nantucket, actually declined in population. The aggregate loss in Dukes County was 137, or 3.01 per cent. Compared with the period immediately preceding, this was a relative decline of 17.71 per cent. The aggregate decline in Nantucket County was 2,358 persons, equal to 27.78 per cent. The aggregate decline in the population of this county for the 294 . CENSUS OF MASSACHUSETTS, 1860. twenty years from 1840 to 18G0, was no less than 32.38 per cent. The average decennial increase in the popnlation of the Com- monwealth, from 1790 to 1860, lias been 18.61 per cent. But three counties have exceeded this general average. These are Suffolk, 39.73 per cent., Middlesex, 25.84 per cent., and Norfolk, 25.00 per cent., respectively. The smallest average rate of increase has been in Dukes County, 4.58 per cent. Next to this is Nantucket County, which shows an average of only 5.66 per cent, increase. The next in the same order, is Frankliu County, 6.38 per cent. In each of those counties which show an average decennial increase of 16 per cent, and upward, manufactures and the mechanic arts form a prominent pursuit of the population. Tliese counties are Suffolk, Middlesex, Norfolk, Hampden^ Bristol, Essex, and Worcester, (placed in the order of their increase,) whose aggregate average increase has been 22.56 per cent. The aggregate average increase of the counties of Berk- shire, Franklin, and Hampshire, which may be considered as almost entirely agricultural counties, has been 8.73 per cent. ; while in Barnstable, Nantucket, and Dukes Counties, wliich may be considered as more especially maritime, the aggregate average increase has been but 7.11 per cent, during the same period. The large influence of manufactures upon population, as indicated by the comparisons in the preceding paragrapli, are obvious, and well known. The subject, however, is one of the most interesting connected with the statistics of population^ and is well worth further consideration in this place. For nearly two centuries from the first occiipation of the soil of Massachusetts, by our ancestors, the people were mostly employed in tiie pursuits of agricnlture. As early as 1765, a very large portion of the territory had been incorporated into towns and districts, and so rapidly were the unoccupied lands settled by emigrants from the older towns, that in 1790 the most of the territory of the State was already formed into incorporated towns. This will account for the fact that the population of the western part of the State actually increased faster during the twenty-five years, between 1765 and 1790, than it has at any equal period since the last named date. From GENERAL REMARKS. 295 1765 to 1790, the population of the four western counties of Hampshire, Hampden, Franklin, and Berkshire, increased 174.68 per cent. ; while from 1790 to 1840, a period of fifty years, their increase was but 53.88 per cent. The latter is less than one-third of the former increase, although the period is double. If we divide the period from 1790 to 1840 into two parts, we shall find that during the second part the number of inhabi- tants was increased in a much larger proportion than in the first. The surplus population, instead of emigrating, were more generally retained at home by the encouragements held out by the increase of manufacturing enterprise. The first period was distinguished by greater emigration to other States, and by the pursuit of agriculture as the principal employment, and the second by the increase of manufactures. By compar- ing the census of 1820 with that of 1840, we find that the increase of those towns principally engaged in agriculture, was but 4.65 per cent, of the population, while the increase of those principally engaged in manufactures, was 9.88 per cent. — or more than twice as great. The increase of the former, in the twenty years, was 38.41 per cent., while the increase of the latter was 154.50 per .cent. — or more than four times as great.* A comparative view of the population of Bristol, Essex, Hampden, Middlesex, Norfolk, and Worcester Counties, as exhibited in the following table, will still more forcibly illus- trate the influence of manufactures upon the increase of popu- lation. The table contains sev^eral commercial towns and cities, it being presumed that the increase of commerce has been prin- cipally dependent upon manufactures, and, furthermore, that many of the towns omitted are largely engaged in manufac- turing, while a good portion of the increase in others has been mainly owing to manufactures. It is obvious, therefore, tliat these comparisons, though they plainly show the large influ- ence of manufactures upon population, are yet but imperfect indications of the real extent of that influence. * Vide Chickering on Population, p. 42. 296 CENSUS OF MASSACHUSETTS, 1860.

GENERAL EEMARKS. 297 Attleborough, Easton, Fall River, Mansfield, New Bedford, Pawtucket, and Taunton, with an aggrej^ate population in 1830 of 25,394, had increased in 1860 to 67,149,— or 164.42 per cent. The thirteen remaining towns in the county, with a population in 1830 of 24,198, had only increased in 1860 to 26,645, or 10.12 per cent. While, therefore, the last men- tioned towns fell below the general average of the county, relatively, 79.01 per cent., the former exceeded the same average 75.29 per cent. In other words, the manufacturino- towns show a relative increase of 154.30 per cent, over those m the same county which are not prominently engaged in manufacturing. Essex County, with a population in 1830 of 82,859, shows an aggregate increase of 82,572 during the period mentioned, or 99.87 per cent. Twelve of the more prominent manufac- turing cities and towns in the county, viz., Amesbury, Andover (including North Andover,) Danvers, Gloucester, (including Rockport,) Haverhill, Lynn, Marblehead, Methuen, (includt mg Lawrence,) Newburyport, Salem, Salisbury, and Saugus exhibit an increase of 114.83 per cent, during the same period ; while the remaining towns show a gain of only 61.40 per cent., —or 53.43 per cent, below the increase of the former. The manufacturing towns exceeded the general average for the county 14.96 per cent., while the others fell below the same average 38.47 per cent. In Hampden County, the aggregate increase from 1830 to 1860, was 81.31 per cent. During the same period the increase in Palmer, Springfield, (including Chicopee,) Westfield, and West Springfield, (including Holyoke,) was 171.92 per cent.,— or 90.61 per cent, above the county average; while in the remaining towns the increase was but 7.24 per cent.,— or 74.07 per cent, below the same average. The increase in these manu- facturing towns exceeded that of the other towns in the county 164.68 per cent. In Middlesex County, the aggregate increase from 1830 to 1860, was 177.51 per cent. During the same period, the aggregate increase in the towns and cities of Brighton, Cambridge, Charlestown, (including Somerville,) Chelm^'sford' Framingham, Groton, Holliston, Lowell, Maiden, Marlborough,' Medford, Natick, Newton, Shirley, Stoneham, Waltham, Water- QQ ' 298 CENSUS OF MASSACHUSETTS, 1860. town, West Cambridge, and Woburn, (including Winchester,) was 259.44 per cent., — 81.93 per cent, above the county average ; while in the remaining thirty-one towns the increase was but 54.69 per cent., or 122.82 per cent, below the same average. The increase in the nineteen cities and towns first mentioned, was 204.75 per cent, more than the increase in the remaining thirty-one towns. The aggregate increase of Norfolk County from 1830 lo 1860, was 161.96 per cent. During the same period, the increase in the towns of Braintree, Brookline, Canton, Dedham, Dorchester, Foxborough, Franklin, Medway, Needham, Quincy, Randolph, Stoughton, Weymouth, and city of Roxbury, (including West Roxbury,) was 202.16 per cent. ; while the increase in the remaining towns was but 39.73 per cent. The increase in the fourteen manufacturing towns was, therefore, 40.20 per cent, more than the average increase for the county, and 162.43 per cent, more than that of the eight remaining, towns ; while in the latter, the increase was 122.23 per cent, below the county average, and 162.43 per cent, below that of the manufacturing towns. The aggregate increase of Worcester County from 1830 to 1860, was 75,304, or 89.27 per cent. In sixteen of the most prominent manufacturing towns of the county, viz., Douglas, Fitchburg, Gardner, Grafton, Lancaster, (including Clinton,) Mendon, (including Blackstone,) Milford, Millbury, North- bridge, Oxford, (including Webster,) Southbridge, Sturbridge, Templeton, Uxbridge, Winchendon, and the city of Worcester, the aggregate increase was 196.20 per cent. In the remaining thirty-nine towns the increase was 28.85 per cent. It will thus be seen that the manufacturing towns increased 106.93 per cent, more than the county average, and 167.35 per cent, more than the increase of the remaining towns ; while the latter fell below the average county increase 60.42 per cent., and 167.35 per cent, below the increase of the sixteen manufacturing towns. Tlie aggregate increase of the population of the Common- wealth from 1830 to 1860, was 101.67 per cent. The aggregate increase of the seventy-two manufacturing cities and towns above named, during the same period, was 188.16 per cent. ; and of the remaining one hundred and twenty-three towns in GENERAL REMARKS. 299 the same counties, 33.67 per cent. The towns first named exceeded the general average of the Commonwealth 86.49 per cent., while the latter fell below the same general average 68.00 per cent. The increase in these manufacturing towns, there- fore, exceeded that of the other towns in the same counties 154,49 per cent. In other words, the increase of population in the manufacturing towns was, relatively, more than five times as great as the increase in those towns in the same coun- ties which were not so prominently engaged in manufactures. It should be remembered that in by far the larger portion of those towns not classed as manufacturing, more or less of their population are nevertheless engaged in manufacturing or com- mercial pursuits. Take for example the County of Essex. The total population, in 1855, of the nineteen towns classed in the preceding table as »2ow-manufacturing, was 35,439. The number of persons returned by the same census, (State Census of 1855,) as wholly employed in manufactures, and the fisheries, in these same towns, was 7,662. This is equal to 21.62 per cent, of the aggregate population, as will be seen from the following table : — State Census of 1855. TOWNS. state Census of 1855. TOWNS. Total Population.

Five others, only, made a gain of 100 per cent., and upward. These were — Lawrence, 112.98 ; Brookline, 105.2-4; Marlborough, 100.85; Melrose, 100.55, and Natick 100 per cent., respectively. All of the above, except Brookline, are in the County of Middlesex. In two of them — Marlborough and Natick — the large increase has been prin- cipally due to the rapid extension of boot and shoe manufac- tures. In the others, the large proportionate gain is to be GENERAL REMARKS. 813 accounted for by the attractions which those towns present for suburban residences. The only places, in addition to the above, which exceeded seventy-five per cent, increase, were Chelsea, in Suffolk County, 99.89 per cent., and Milford, in Worcester County, 89.50 per cent, increase, respectively. In addition to those named above, twenty others exhibit a gain of fifty per cent, and upward, respectively — making a total of twenty-seven cities and towns which experienced an increase of at least fifty per cent, each during the decade included in the table. These are — Somerville, . . . . 126.67 Lawrence, . 112.98 Brookline, . 105.24 Marlborough, 100.85 Melrose, 100.55 Natick, . 100.00 Chelsea, . 99.89 Milford, . 89.50 Gardner, . 72.60 Cambridge, . . 71.27 Roxbury, . 71.24 Haverhill, . . 70.07 N.

Thus, Brewster, in Barnstable County, made a gain of 1.46 per cent, from 1850 to 1855, but during the next subsequent five years declined nearly four per cent. Mount Washington, in Berkshire County, increased 1.18 per cent, from 1850 to 1855, but declined nearly ten per cent, from 1855 to 1860. It will also be seen, that in many of the towns, the rate of increase, or decrease, varied largely during the two periods. Thus, Orleans, in Barnstable County, declined: 40 3U CENSUS OF MASSACHUSETTS, 1860. 1.90 per cent, from 1850 to 1855, but during the next five years its loss was no less than 7.29 per cent. Attleborough, in Bristol County, experienced an increase of 31.13 per cent, from 1850 to 1855, but during the next quinquennial period its increase was only 13.29 per cent. Age. The ag^es of a population is an interesting and instructive element of information, and its importance has always been acknowledged by writers upon vital statistics. It has been said, and with mucli truth, that " a country is placed in the most favorable circumstances for advancement when it has the largest proportionate number of its inhabitants of an age suited to active employments." That age, according to the opinion of some writers, is between 15 and 50, while others consider that from 15 to 60 would be a better division. The latter division appears to be the most appropriate — at least for Massachusetts — and is therefore adopted for the present purposes of comparison. Those persons under 15 years of age may be classed as Dependent^ because they are dependent on those older for support ; those from 15 to 60 may be classed as Productive^ because they are the only class who enjoy the full vigor of life, and are capable of fully discliarging its manifold duties ; while those above 60 years of age may be considered as the Aged class. Tlie first and third classes combined may be called the Unproductive class, and the other the Productive class — using the word productive as applied to labor, in contradistinction from idleness or inability. One class are producers, and the other consumers. Applying this principle of division to the population of the State in 1800, we find that 394,249 persons, equal to 32.02 per cent, of the total population, were under 15 years of age ; 755,435, or 61.36 per cent., were between 15 and 60 ; and 81,382, or 6.61 per cent, were 60 years and upward. By adding the first and third classes together, we have 475,631 persons, equal to 38.63 per cent, of the total population, who may be considered as constituting the Unj)ro- ductive class, and who are mainly dependent upon the labor of the remaining 755,435, or 61.36 per cent, of the population, for their support. In other words, the Productive class consti- GENERAL REMARKS. 315 tute a little more than three-fifths of the total population of the Commonwealth, as may be seen from the following table : — AGE.

Most of those so returned are adults. In the calculations of the United States Census Bureau, upon the census of 1850, seven-tenths of the males of unknown ages are supposed to have been between fifteen and sixty years of age. In this connection, the following table will be found of special interest, as affording valuable means of comparing the popula- tion of Massachusetts with that of some other places : — Year.

It is worthy of note, however, that the proportion of those between the ages of 10 and 30 has slightly but regularly declined from 1850 to 1860 ; while in each of the decennial divisions from 30 to 80 years, the reverse has been the case. This is the more remarkable from the fact that during the whole of the periods included there does not appear a single exception. The per cent, of persons between 10 and 30 years of age has gradually diminished, while the per cent, of those GENERAL REMARKS. 317 between the ages of 30 and 80 years has steadily increased. Tlie cause of this is not apparent. Neither the known facts of emigration or immigration afford a solution of the problem. The former might, perhaps, be said to account for the relative decrease of persons between the ages of 20 and 30 years, but it will be seen that a similar decrease has also taken place between the ages of 10 and 15 years. On the other hand, immigration might be said to account for the relative increase of persons between the ages of 30 to 40, or even from 30 to 50, but it could hardly be assigned as the cause of the increase of those between the ages of 60 and 80 years. A partial solution may perhaps be found among the statistics of births and deaths. An examination of these will show that the aggregate increase of deaths during the period mentioned slightly exceeded the increase of births during the same period, as may be seen from the following statement ; — CENSUS. Population. Births. Deaths. Per ct. Births. Per ct. Deaths. 1850, 1855, 1860, 994,514 27,664 16,606 2.78 1,132,369 32,845 20,798 2.90 1,231,066 36,051 23,068 2.92 1.67 1.83 1.87 From the above it will be seen that while the number of births increased from 2.78 to 2.92 per cent, of the total popula- tion, the number of deaths increased from 1.67 to 1.87 per cent., — a difference of .06 per cent. In addition to this, may be mentioned the fact that sixty per cent, of the deaths in the Commonwealth occur among persons under thirty years of age. According to the foregoing table, the per cent, of persons under 20 years of age is nearly ten per cent, less in Massachu- setts than in the United States at large ; while the per cent, of those of 20 years and upward, is nearly ten per cent, greater in the former than in the latter. The explanation of this is doubtless to be found in the numerous manufactories of the Commonwealth, which invite the immigration of large numbers of adults, of both sexes, not only from the sister States, but from foreign countries. This large demand for operatives, 318 CENSUS OF MASSACHUSETTS, 1860. mechanics, and laborers, may also be assigned as a prominent, if not the principal cause of the increase in the per cent, of persons of 30 years of age and upward, as already noted. Sex. It will be seen, from tables I. and II. of the preceding abstract, that in 1860 the number of males in the State was 596,721, while the number of females was 634,336. This shows an excess of 37,615 females in the Commonwealth at that period. This predominence in number on the part of females in the State is not peculiar to the census of 1860, but has prevailed for at least nearly a century, as will be seen from the following table : — White Males and Females in Massachusetts, from 1765 to 1860.

The average excess of females during the whole period was upward of four per cent. It will be noticed, that from 1850 to 1860, the excess of females increased 19,695, or 2.68 per cent. During the latter period more males * Previous to 1820, the sex of the colored population was not distinguished by the United States censuses. GENERAL REMARKS. 319 tlian females were born in the State, and more females than males died, as may be seen by the official reports on Regis- tration. In 1855, the excess of females in the State, including colored, was 83,056, there being 105.87 females to each 100 males. In 1860, there were, including colored, 37,615 more females than males, or 106.30 females to each 100 males. The increase of females over males during these five years was therefore 4,559. During these same five years 4,441 more males than females were born, while 226 more females than males died, as may be seen from the following : — Births. Deaths. YEARS. Male. Female. Male. Female. 1855, 16,785 15,888 10,285 10,386 1856, 17,650 16,577 10,201 10,401 1857, 18,023 17,121 10,703 10,485 1858, 17,453 16,840 10,346 10,354 1859, 18,108 17,152 10,381 10,516 Totals, 88,019 83,578 51,916 52,142 While, therefore, the returns of births and deaths in ihe State would indicate a relative decrease of 4,667 females during the above period, it appears by the census that there was an actual relative increase of no less than 4,559. We must therefore infer that some 9,226 more females than males were added to the population of the State by immigration during that period. The only States of the Union in which the females out- number the males are those of New England. In each and all of the other States the males outnumber the females. Of the New England States, the largest proportionate excess of females is to be found in Massachusetts. Taking the New England States together, the number of females lias been from one to tiiree in a hundred more than the number of males ; while in the United States as a whole, the number of white females 320 CENSUS OF MASSACHUSETTS, 1860. lias, at every census, been from four to six in a hundred less than that of the white males. The following table gives the number of white females to 100 white males, in Massachusetts, New England, and several other sections of the Union, and also in the United States at large, from 1790 to 1850 :— Numher of White Females to 100 White Males, from 1790 to 1850.

In this respect the population of the United States differs in a marked degree from that of other countries. In Great Britain and Ireland, the females out- number the males some 877,000, in a population of a little more than 29,000,000. This disparity in the sexes is the result of a variety of causes. As it regards the United States, the large emigration from all parts of Europe of men in the prime of life,* and the few losses we had up to that period sustained fjom the contingencies incident to a state of war, have served to exhibit for us a larger proportionate male population than can be shown in any other country. The effect of the present war, with its immense loss of life, lias occasioned serious queries in many minds as to the conse- quent preponderance of females in the population of the * Of 5,062,414 alien passengers arriving in the United States between September 30, 1819, and December 31, 1860, 2,977,603 were males. GENERAL REMARKS. 321 country. This presumption of a deficiency of males at the close of the war, is based upon the established fact that in the world at large the total of males and of females, respectively, varies so little for any given time, or for a period of years, that there is never a serious preponderance of either sex. This presumption is correct ; but it is not equally true that there is a numerical equality of the sexes in any and every given locality, or country, as we have already seen. While there was, in 1860, a preponderance of females in Massachusetts, and the other States of New England, in Michigan there was an excess of 40,000 males ; in Wisconsin, 43,000 ; in Indiana, 47,938 ; in Illinois, 92,000, and in the newer States the disparity is still greater ; so that, taking the country as a whole, the males were at that date 733,244 in excess of the females. It must be indeed a bloody and a long protracted war that will overcome even this excess. It should also be I'emembered, that the constant influx of men, in tiie prime and vigor of man- hood, from the Old World, which is continually going on, must exert a large influence against the presumed deficiency of males. Colored Population. The whole number of persons of color in the Commonwealth, on the first day of June, 1860, was 9,602 ; of which number, 4,469 were males, and 5,133 were females. These totals differ slightly from the numbers given on page 118, as is more fully explained on page 285. The colored population of Massachusetts properly comprises not only the pure blacks of the African race, and their various mixtures with the whites, — commonly called mulattoes^ — but also mixtures of the whites and others with the Indians, partic- ularly at Marshpee. But in Tables I. and II., of the preceding Abstract, — which were kindly furnished from the Census Department, — all but 17 of the inhabitants of Marshpee are classed as whites. In the original returns, the inhabitants of that District are classed as follows : — 41 322 CENSUS OF MASSACHUSETTS, 1860. Indians. Blacks. Mulattoes. Whites, Male, . . 125 10 3 6 Female, . 160 2 2 12 Totals, . . 285 12 5 18 The number of those who are the pure descendants of either the African or Indian race, is believed to constitute but a very smaU part of the colored population of the Commonwealth, while most of them are a mixture of whites with Indians and negroes. This is especially true of the District of Marshpee, whose population for at least three-fourths of a century has been mostly a mixed race of Indians, negroes, and others, with but few, if any, pure bloods of either. In 1840, the population of the District was returned as 309, of whom 9 were white males, 6 white females, 146 colored males, and 148 colored females. According to the Provincial Census of 1765, the colored pop- ulation in the returns of 182 towns, was 4,978, to which by adding 147, the number according to the United States Census for 16 towns in 1790, which were not returned in 1765, and 74 for their number in Newbury and Newburyport, whose returns in 1765 did not specify the color, — this last number being in proportion to the number in those towns in 1790, — we have 5,199 for the estimated number of the colored population in 1765.* The following table exhibits the number of colored persons in each town in Massachusetts, according to the Provincial Census of 1765, and the several United States Censuses from 1790 to 1860.

It seems from this that the colored population have gradually become more concentrated in certain towns and localities. Of the 254 towns which con- tained persons of color in 1860, forty towns contained but one each. Of the total number of colored persons, 5,544, or over 57 per cent., were residents of the three counties of Suffolk, Bristol, and Berkshire. Only thirteen towns contained over 100 each. In 1855, sixteen towns contained more than 100 each ; and there were none in seventy-three towns. The total colored population in the last named year, was 9,906. Nativities of the Population. Of the 1,231,066 inhabitants of the Commonwealth on the first day of June, 1860, 970,952, or equal to 78.88 per cent., were born within the limits of the United States ; while 260,114, or 21.12 per cent., were born in foreign countries. Of the whole number born in the United States, 805,546, or 65.43 per cent, of the total population, were born within the limits of the Commonwealth. The number born out of the State, but in the New England States, was 134,624, equal to 10.93 per cent, of the total population. This gives 940,170, — or 76.36 per cent., — as the total number born in New England ; leaving only 30,782, — or 2.51 per cent., — as the total number born in the other States or Territories of the Union. Of the 260,114 persons, — or 21.12 per cent, of the whole population, — born in foreign countries, 185,434, — or 15.06 per cent, of the total population, — were natives of Ireland. In other words, 71.28 per cent, of those of foreign birth were born in Ireland. The next largest proportion of those of foreign birtli, are natives of British America, being 27,069, or equal to 2.19 per cent, of the total population of the State. Next in order of numbers are those born in England, being 23,848, — or 1.93 per cent, of the total population. It will thus be seen that ninety per cent, of those of foreign birth were born in either Ireland, England, or British America ; leaving but 1.94 per cent, as the proportion born in other foreign countries. 386 CENSUS OF MASSACHUSETTS, 1860. Of the total number of persons of foreign birth in tlie State, 67,261, or 25.85 per cent., were in the county of Suffolk ; 502,380, or 19.31 per cent., in the county of Middlesex ; 31,876, or 12.25 per cent,, in the county of Worcester ; 29,494, or 11.83 per cent., in the county of Essex ; and 26,257, or 10.09 per cent., in the county of Norfolk. The whole number in the five counties above named, was 205,126, or 78.86 per cent, of the total number in the Commonwealth. The following table gives the total number of persons of American and foreign birth, with the per cent, of each, in each county of the Commonwealth, as returned by the Census of I860:— American and Foreign Population, 1860.

The next in order, are Norfolk Coun- ty, 23.88 per cent. ; Middlesex, 23.49 per cent. ; Hampden, 21.14 per cent. ; Worcester, 19.96 per cent. ; Essex, 17.80 [ler GENERAL REMARKS. 337 cent. ; and Bristol, 17.79 per cent. In these seven counties the average proportion of those born out of the United States is 22.71 per cent. Tliis it will be seen is only about one and a half per cent, above the average for the Commonwealth, The smallest proportion is found in the county of Berkshire, being only 1.78 per cent. Next in the same order, are Barnstable, 4.31; Dukes, 4.33; Nantucket, 4.78; and Franklin, 7.41 per cent., respectively. In tlxese five counties the average propor- tion is 4.52 per cent. The percentage of American born whites in 1850, was 83.12, and of foreign born, 16.60. In 1855, according to the State Census, persons of American birth composed 78.16 per cent., and foreigners 21.79 per cent, of the white population. In 1855, the number of persons of foreign birth to each 100 persons of American birth, in each county of the Common- wealth, was as follows : — Barnstable, Berkshire, Bristol, . Dukes, . Essex, . Franklin, Hampden, Average th 4.99 Hampshire, .... 15.41 21.63 Middlesex, .... 32.47 21.92 Nantucket, .... 5.99 2.95 Norfolk, 33.25 21.61 Plymouth, .... 11.71 7.22 Suffolk, 61.61 27.71 Worcester, .... 24.39 onghout the Commonwealth, 27.66. In the above, and also in tiie table next preceding, children born in the United States, of foreign parents, are classed as American. Had the children of foreigners been included with the foreign born, the figures in the column of the foreign popu- lation would have been much more imposing. This will appear evident from the following statement : — The whole number of births in the Commonwealth, in 1860, was 35,445 ; of which number 16,097 were born of American parents; 16,125 of foreign parents; 1,224 of American father and foreign mother ; 1,258 of foreign father and American mother ; and 741 of unknown parentage. In five counties the strictly foreign, where both parents were foreigners, exceeded the American births by 3,185. These counties were Hampden, Middlesex, Norfolk, Suffolk, and Worcester, 43 338 CENSUS OF MASSACHUSETTS, 18G0. Occupations.. In the United States Census of 1820, a partial ofTort was made to ascertain the occupations of tlie population. The whites, free colored, and slaves, male and female, were classed together, as actually employed in commerce, agriculture, or in manufactures, and as individual producers. In 1840 a second attempt was made for the same purpose, and the following questions were asked : " What is the number of persons in this family employed in mining operations ? agriculture ? com- merce ? manufactures and trades ? navigation of tlie ocean ? navigation of canals, lakes, and rivers ? learned professions, and as engineers ? " In 1850 the particular employment of each white and free colored male, over fifteen years of age, was indicated, and where the person followed several occnpations, the principal one was given. In 1860 the returns included the occupation of each male and female of fifteen years of age and upward, as in 1850. Taldc VII. (Parts I. and II.) of the preceding Abstract, exhibits the number of males in the Commonwealth, of fifteen years of age and upward, pursuing different occupations. The list of occupations in the table is an ag-o^reg-cUion of those upon the original returns, although special care has been taken to make the list more minute than any abstract heretofore published. It is to be regretted that the canvassers did not use more discrimination in recording the occupations of the population- Many mechanics, for example, were returned as manufacturers ; peddlers, and jobbers, as merchants ; manufacturers, simply as mannfacturers, without indicating the particular kind of manu- facture ; and mechanics, simply as mechanics. In many instances, persons of 15 to 18 years of age, who have no occupation, are returned as " scholars." These are not in- cluded in the table. Ijaborers are in some cases returned as farm laborers, and in others as day laborers, railroad laborers, or simply laborers. Farm laborers have been placed by them- selves in the table, although the returns are manifestly far from complete. For instance, iuFitchburg, with 202 farms, and 233 farmers, no farm laborers are returned ; in New Braintree, with GENERAL REMARKS. 339 95 farms, 67 farm laborers are returned, while iiv the adjoining town of Oakham, with 106 farms, none are returned. Farmers' sons are in some cases returned as " farm laborers," in some as " laborers," in others as " farming," and again as " farmers." One entire family, including boys and girls, afe returned as "farmers." In many instances persons returned as gentlemen, are evidently those who have no visible occupation, or means of livelihood. They have no property, and many of them are aged men. In the returns of the town of Great Barrington alone, ten men, without property, are returned as gentlemen. Agents, are in many instances evidently travelling agents, and peddlers ; gardeners, in some cases those who raise produce for market, and in others, laborers in the garden. In many cases, the occupation is very indefinitely returned. For instance, " paper," " paper mill," " coffee," " lanterns," " melodeons ;" which may mean a manufacturer, a dealer, or simply a work- man. The returns of many towns contain repeated entries of " help," which evidently include many kinds of employ- ment. In the returns of Fitchburg, Leominster, and Sterling, a large portion of the mechanical workers are entered as "mechanics;" laborers as "help;" manufacturers as simply " manufacturers ; " and only the initials of names are given. In some cases, only the initials of occupations are given ; thus, (in Cambridge) " 0. B. C," and " P. B. B." These particulars are mentioned to show the difficulty at- tending the preparation of a correct abstract, and the impor- tance of more care in the selection of census enumerators. Under the head of Contractors, in table VII., are also included those returned as "railroad," and "stone" con- tractors ; Operatives, includes weavers, spinners, card-tenders, and dressers ; Mariners, includes steamboat hands, whalemen, and boatmen ; Carpenters, includes builders, and stair-builders. Most of those entered " all other occupations," are where the returns are illegible. Females returned as farmers, and store- keepers, are not included in the table. Of the 398,753 male persons, in the Commonwealth, of 15 years of age and upward, 361,267, or 90.60 per cent., are returned as having a trade, profession, or other occupation. Of the number returned as having an occupation, 66,045, or 18.29 per cent., may be classed as agriculturists ; 16,145, or 4.46 340 CENSUS OF MASSACHUSETTS, 18G0. per cent., as factory operatives, (exclusive of overseers and superintendents) ; 45,598, or 12.62 per cent., as laborers, (ex- cluding drivers, hostlers, jobmen, railroad employees, porters, and office boys, quarrymen, servants, teamsters, and waiters) ; 16,159, or 4.47 per cent., as mariners and boatmen, (excluding fishermen)'; 4,584, or 1.26 per cent., as manufacturers, (ex- cluding agents, overseers, and superintendents) ; 139,820, or 38.70 per cent., as mechanics ; 17,370, or 4.80 per cent., as merchants and traders ; 7,358, or 2.03 per cent., as professional men ; and 48,188 or 13.33 per cent., as miscellaneous, or all other occupations. The following table gives the number employed in some of the principal occupations in the Commonwealth, according to the Censuses of 1850, 1855, and 1860 :— OCCUPATIONS. 1850. 1855. I860.

In condensin(^ occupations from the returns of so many enumerators, with their peculiar individual methods of classification, probably no two persons would present the same results in detail. Some of the discrepancies may be accounted for by the absorption of minor employments under more general heads ; and others, by reflecting how many persons are returned as following more than one occupation. The following gives the number of male operatives in, mills, in thirteen of the principal manufacturing cities and towns in the Commonwealth : — Lowell, . 2,947 Williamsburg, 206 Lawrence, . 1,815 South Hadley, 188 Fall River, . 667 New Bedford, 147 Cliifopee, 447 West Springfield, . 81 Holyok(!, 384 Pawtucket, . 78 Palmer, 361 Salem, . . ■ 77 Newbiiryport, 259 342 CENSUS OF MASSACI1USP:TTS, 1860.

Occupations of Persons of Color. — The following table gives the occupations of the colored male persons in the Common- wealth, of fifteen years of age and upward, according to the Census of 1860. The table does not include Barnstable County, or the towns of Acushnet, Berkley, Easton, Fairhaven, Mansfield, Swanzey and Taunton, in Bristol County, in which the occupa- tions were tabulated before it was determined to make a special abstract of the occupations of persons of color. The number of colored male persons of fifteen years of age and upward, in the county and towns not included in the table, was 105. The aggregates in this table are included in table VII. of the pre- ceding abstract. Occupations of Hale Persons of Color, 1860.

The whole number of colored male persons in the Common- wealth, of fifteen years of age and upward, was 3,034. Deduct- ing 105 for the towns not included in the above table, and we have 2,929, of which number 2,298, or 78.44 per cent., were returned as following some distinct occupation. The most compact colored population in the Commonwealth, is to be found in Ward VI. of the city of Boston. In tliis ward there were in 1860, 484 colored male persons of 15 years of age and upward, of whom 440, or 90.91 per cent., were returned as having a distinct occupation. It will be remembered that of the total number of males of the above age in the Common- wealth, 90.60 per cent, have an occupation. Taking into con- sideration the peculiar social position of the colored population, the above facts are certainly creditable to them as a class. A comparison of the character of the different occupations in the above table, with those of table VII., will still more forcibly illustrate this point.
