 PROVIDENCE, February 20, 1867. ) 
 
 To the Honorable the General Assembly of the State of Rhode Island : 
 
 Gentlemen : At the session of the General Assembly in January, 1865, 
 an act was pa'ssed providing for the taking of a decennial census of the inhab- 
 itants of the State ; and at the May session following, an additional act was 
 passed, requiring. the statistics of the manufactures, business and agriculture 
 of the State to be taken at the same time. 
 
 The acts alluded to, direct the Secretary of State, with the advice of the 
 Governor, to provide such blanks for the returns of the census and statistics 
 as they may deem necessary, and to employ the requisite agents to perform the 
 several duties required by the acts in question. 
 
 No time was lost in making the preliminary arrangements for this important 
 work, and the State was fortunate in securing the services of Dr. EDWIN M. 
 SNOW, of Providence, a gentleman whose experience and high reputation as a 
 statistician is not surpassed, if equalled, by that of any one in the United 
 States. This gentleman was therefore made Superintendent of the Census, 
 with full power to prepare such printed blanks and to adopt such plans as would 
 ensure the careful collection of the facts contemplated by the act ; to condense 
 and tabulate them ; to accompany them with such remarks, in the form of a 
 report, as would elucidate and render them most useful, and to superintend 
 their publication. 
 
 All this work has been performed in the most satisfactory manner, and the 
 printed abstract will be found to contain many more particulars relating to the 
 population of the State, the statistics of its manufactures, business, and agri- 
 culture, than have ever before been brought together, in relation to this State, 
 and upon some subjects, more than have ever been collected by any State in 
 the Union. 
 
 The report of Dr. Snow is herewith respectfully submitted.

 REPORT. 
 
 THE present volume contains the results obtained by the Census of 
 Rhode Island ; the statistics of population being for the first day 
 of June, 1865, and those of agriculture, fisheries, and manufactures, 
 for the year ending at that date. 
 
 The census was taken in pursuance of an Act of the General 
 Assembly passed March 17, 1865, and of an " Act in Amendment 
 of and in Addition " thereto, passed~~on the 10th of June of the 
 same year. These Acts, copies of which are given in the Appendix, 
 provide for taking a census of the inhabitants, and also the statistics 
 of the manufactures, business, and agriculture of the State, on the 
 1st day of June, 1865, and every tenth year thereafter. 
 
 The late period at which these Acts of the General Assembly were 
 passed, and the amendments and additions provided in the second 
 Act, caused much delay in the preparation of the blanks, and also in 
 obtaining the statistics, and in preparing the tables from them, which 
 rendered it impossible to complete the final report at the time required 
 by law. The delay has, however, given an opportunity to make the 
 tables much more full and complete than they would otherwise have 
 been. 
 
 At the January session, (1866,) of the General Assembly, a 
 partial report was presented, containing the statistics of the popula- 
 tion, agriculture, and fisheries of the State. Since that time, the
 
 X. CENSUS OF RHODE ISLAND, 186o. 
 
 statistics of manufactures have been prepared and printed, and are 
 given in the present volume, together with the statistics already pre- 
 sented in the partial report. A copy of the returns of the census 
 of the population of each town and city' has been deposited in the 
 office of the Secretary of State, and has been bound in suitable vol- 
 umes. These volumes contain the name and other particulars, of 
 every man, woman, and child living in the State on the 1st day of 
 June, 1865 ; and also the names of those belonging in the State, 
 who were absent at that date, in the Army or in the Navy of the 
 United States, or elsewhere. The original returns of the census of 
 population are deposited in the clerks' offices of the several towns and 
 cities, and it is presumed that each town will have them suitably 
 bound for preservation and for reference. 
 
 As the preparation of the blanks for the census was not commenced 
 until nearly the date at which the statistics were to be obtained, it was 
 impossible to give them as much thought and study as was desirable. 
 An examination of the tables given in this volume, in connection with 
 the explanations and comments upon them, will show, however, that 
 an immense amount of information was obtained by the census, and 
 that, in many important particulars, it was more full and complete 
 than any United States census ever taken in this State. A descrip- 
 tion of the blanks used, and a copy of the "Instructions" accom- 
 panying them will be found in the Appendix to this volume.* 
 
 The Acts of tjie General Assembly under which the present cen- 
 sus was taken, make provision for collecting many other facts which 
 it was impossible to obtain on account of the late date at which the 
 work was commenced. It is obvious that a complete statement of all 
 the resources and capabilities of the State would be extremely inter- 
 esting to our citizens, and of great value and constant utility to the 
 legislative, as well as other departments of the government. Such 
 a statement would contain a multitude of facts which will not be 
 found in this volume. Among them would be the statistics of com- 
 merce and trade ; the value of real and personal estate, and rate of 
 
 * In this connection, I wish to acknowledge my indebtedness to the Superinten- 
 dent of the Census of the State of New York, Dr. Franklin B. Hough of Albany, 
 for many valuable hints. His report on the census of that State, in 1855, was 
 probably the most complete work of the kind ever published in this country, and 
 that upon the census of 1865, judging from the blanks used, and from the plan pro- 
 posed, will be still more complete and perfect.

 taxation in each town : the statistics of education ; the religious sta- 
 tistics ; the statistics of pauperism, insanity, &c., &c. ; all of which, 
 and many more, are not only desirable, but are, in a measure, abso- 
 lutely necessary for a full understanding of the interests of the State, 
 and for intelligent legislation in relation to them. 
 
 As the Census Acts of the General Assembly provide for a census 
 of the State in 1875, and every tenth year thereafter, there will be 
 abundant time and opportunity in future, to make arrangements for 
 obtaining all the information that is desired, and for its prompt 
 publication. 
 
 BUREAU OF STATISTICS. 
 
 But the question arises, and is worthy the consideration of the 
 General Assembly, whether a decennial census is sufficient to meet 
 the wants of the State. A census taken only once in ten years, must 
 from necessity be taken under the direction of inexperienced persons, 
 and of persons who have no opportunity to investigate the subject, 
 and devise the best plan for the blanks, or the best system of doing 
 the work. Everything will be done without plan or system, and in 
 the most disadvantageous manner. No two censuses will correspond 
 with each other in the kind, or amount, or completeness, of the infor- 
 mation obtained. 
 
 Besides this, a decennial census may, from accidental circumstan- 
 ces, fail entirely to give any correct idea of very many of the statistics 
 desired to be obtained. For example ; the statistics of no single 
 year can show truly the facts for a series of years, in relation to manu- 
 factures, agriculture, trade, commerce, and many other subjects. It 
 is desirable and necessary for the interests of the State, that these 
 statistics and many others, should be obtained and published as often 
 as every year. 
 
 Again, a census taken in the manner it is usually taken, and at such 
 long intervals, is not the best method of obtaining the facts desired. 
 I have no doubt that all the facts obtained by a decennial census and 
 many more, excepting those relating to the population, could be 
 obtained far more correctly every year, and with slightly if any addi- 
 tional expense, by other methods. Experience, in this State as well 
 as in other States, in connection with vital statistics, has shown the 
 great value of establishing the habit among the people of giving and 
 collecting statistical information. The vital statistics of the State are 
 constantly improving, from year to year, and now, tens of thousands
 
 xii. CENSUS OF RHODE ISLAND, 1865. 
 
 of our people feel an interest in the subject, and are desirous that the 
 facts relating to their families should be fully recorded. The import- 
 ance and value of these records have been fully shown, particularly 
 during the last five years. The information they have furnished, in 
 connection with claims against the general government, has saved the 
 people of the State, many times more than the expense of making 
 the records. 
 
 Similar results would follow from the frequent collection and 
 publication of other statistical information.- The people would soon 
 understand the subject better ; doubts would be removed ; an interest 
 in such information would be created ; and our citizens, being con- 
 vinced that no improper use would be made of the facts, would become 
 desirous that full particulars should be obtained. 
 
 I conceive it, then, to be a necessity, and a necessity which will 
 soon be acknowledged and acted uporf, that in this State, as well as 
 in other States, and in the General Government, Bureaus of Statis- 
 tics should be established, which should have the charge of the 
 collection, collation, and publication of all kinds of statistical infor- 
 mation. 
 
 The limited extent, and internal geographical and political divisions 
 of our State are extremely favorable for the easy collection of this 
 information. A suitable person, authorized by the State, would be 
 able, through the authorities of the several towns, by correspondence, 
 and otherwise, to collect a great amount of valuable information, 
 annually, at a comparatively slight expense. The same person might 
 have the charge of the preparation and publication of the Registration 
 Reports, and of the decennial census. By his acquired knowledge 
 and experience, and by correspondence with other States, and with 
 the officers of the general government, he would soon be able to 
 introduce order, system, and economy in the collection of the statistics 
 of the State, and to produce reports which would be of great value 
 to its legislators, to its citizens, and to the country. The subject is 
 commended to the consideration of the General Assembly.* 
 
 * Since the preceding remarks were written, I have noticed the following, from 
 the Report on the United States Census for 1850, which is specially pertinent to the 
 subject, and confirmatory of what I have written : 
 
 " The present Census system of the United States is, in many respects, defective. 
 It is very difficult to ohtain, upon short notice, and for a brief period, able statistical 
 talent in Washington. By the time an office has acquired experience, it is disbanded.
 
 PLAN OF REPORT. Xlll. 
 
 PLAN OF THIS KEPORT. 
 
 In preparing the blanks for taking the census of 1865, I have not 
 copied those of any other census ever taken ; but have provided for 
 obtaining all the information usually obtained by the national censuses 
 
 O / 
 
 of the State, and have added other items which seemed to be important. 
 A reference to the tables will show in some particulars, a more com- 
 plete analysis of the population of the State than was ever before 
 obtained, and in relation to some points, information will be found 
 which is not given in any census of any State, ever published. 
 
 This being the case, a complete comparison on all points of this 
 census with any other, is impossible. I have, therefore, thought it 
 best not to attempt a comparison of particulars obtained, with those 
 of the previous national censuses of the State. 
 
 As this is the first complete census ever taken and published by 
 the State, it seemed to be better to adopt a plan more with reference 
 to the future than the past. 
 
 I propose, then, in this Report, to omit any extended comparisons 
 of the facts obtained with those of past dates, and to confine myself, 
 as briefly as possible, to general remarks and explanations of the 
 census of 1865 ; to give as clear a view as possible of the present 
 
 The persons selected as enumerators are often proved, by the returns, to be entirely 
 incompetent, for which, perhaps, the low rate of compensation or the mode of 
 appointment may be assigned as reasons. The districts embraced by each enumera- 
 tor are too large ; if practicable for accuracy, they should be as small as the districts 
 in Great Britain. In this case, the permanent State and county officers ought to 
 form a part of the machinery. It would be well for Congress to recommend the 
 establishment of State Bureaus of Statistics, and rely upon them for all other infor- 
 mation than the decennial enumerations of the people. These State Institutions, 
 adopting the machinery at present in operation for assessment purposes, might 
 greatly economize the expense ; and, upon condition of their collecting information 
 according to certain forms to be prescribed by th Federal Government, be aided in 
 some shape from the treasury, or at least their reports, annually or biennially, might 
 be condensed and published with those of the Departments at Washington. The 
 reports of foreign consuls could be embraced in the same volume. Information of 
 this sort is indispensable to the National Legislature, and is every day called for in 
 its deliberations. The States would very soon adopt the suggestion, and a beginning 
 is recommended with such as first adopt it." 
 
 I may add that in taking the census of Providence, in 1865, I divided the city into 
 small districts, and employed twenty-eight enumerators, all that could be obtained 
 upon short notice. The result was in the highest degree satisfactory. The whole 
 enumeration of the population of the city was completed in about two weeks, 
 and in a much better manner than it is usually done.

 to their history ; also tables showing the total population, the number 
 of blacks and Indians, and the percentage of increase or decrease of 
 the total population of each town, according to the previous censuses 
 of the State, from 1708 to 18(55, inclusive. The past and present 
 condition, and future prospects of the colored population in Rhode 
 Island, are discussed in this part of the report. 
 
 In the third part, the sex, ages, birthplaces, parentage, and other 
 classifications of the population are considered ; and various tables 
 illustrating the subject are given. Tables and comparisons are also 
 given to illustrate and explain the value of the statistics of agricul-

 NATURAL FEATURES. 
 
 Rhode Island is the smallest State in the Union, being only about 
 50 miles in length, and 35 in width. Though its area is limited, it 
 has a great diversity of soil and even of climate. In some parts it is 
 quite hilly, though not mountainous, in others it is level ; in some 
 parts the soil is heavy and wet, in others it is sandy and dry. The 
 winters are tempered by the abundance of salt water, and are milder 
 than in the same latitude farther inland. 
 
 The State is divided into two unequal parts by Narragansett Bay, 
 which extends inland about 30 miles from the ocean. Five of the 
 thirty-three towns in the State are situated on islands. Though the 
 coast line of the State is only about 45 miles, the Narragansett Bay, 
 with its numerous arms and islands, gives about 350 miles of shore 
 washed by tide water, to the State. 
 
 There are numerous fresh water ponds in the State, and in the 
 southern part there are many extensive ponds of salt water. 
 
 The State is divided into five counties, and these contain thirty- 
 three towns. The towns are extremely irregular in shape, and there 
 is a great difference in their size. The smallest town in area, is 
 Warren, which has only 4.7 square miles. The largest town, South 
 Kingstown, is more than sixteen times larger than Warren, and 
 
 c? ' O * 
 
 has 77.9 square miles. The average for the whole State is about 32 
 square miles to each town. 
 
 The whole area of the State is 1054.6 square miles. This is 
 obtained from Waiting's map of the State, and is undoubtedly very 
 nearly correct. The area usually given in geographies and gazet- 
 teers is 250 to 300 miles greater, and probably includes the waters, of 
 Narragansett Bay. 
 
 The total population of the State, in 1865, was 184,965, which 
 gives 175.4 inhabitants to each square mile, a density of population 
 considerably greater than that of any other of the United States. 
 
 A table on the next page shows the population of each town, by 
 4ie census of 1865, the area in square miles of each town, and 
 the number of persons living to each square mile of area in each 
 town and county, and in the whole State.

 DENSITY OF POPULATION. 
 
 XV11 
 
 By the settlement of the boundary question with Massachusetts, 
 in 1862, Rhode Island gained some territory and population, as fol- 
 lows : 
 
 In Pawtucket, Gain 6.9 square miles 4,200 population. 
 
 In East Providence,. . Gain 12.5 " 1,700 " 
 
 Total gain, - 19.4 square miles. 5,900 population. 
 
 In Fall River Loss 11.2 square miles 3,377 population. 
 
 This leaves a net gain to Rhode Island of 8.2 square miles of territory, and 2,523 
 inhabitants. 
 
 The density of population in Rhode Island, 175.4 to each square 
 mile, is nearly the same as that of France, (176,) and is greater than 
 that of Prussia, Bavaria, Austria, Denmark, Scotland, Sweden, or 
 Norway. 
 
 The following shows the number of square miles of territory, the 
 total population, and the number of persons to a square mile in each 
 of the New England States, by the national census of 1860 :

 By the State census of Massachusetts, in 1865, the population was 
 1,267,239, which gives 162.4 persons to each square mile. 
 
 The census of I860 was taken before the settlement of the boun- 
 dary question between Rhode Island and Massachusetts ; consequently 
 the area of Rhode Island, as given above^ is slightly less than that 
 of the present time. 
 
 The report on the United States census of 1860 gives the area of 
 Rhode Island as 1,306 square miles, which, as we have already shown, 
 is a mistake. 
 
 After Rhode Island, Massachusetts and Connecticut, the greatest 
 density of population in any State, in 1860, was in New York, 84.3 
 persons to .each square mile ; next, New Jersey, 80.7 ; Maryland, 
 73.4 ; Pennsylvania, 63.2, &c., as mar be seen on page 121 of " The 
 Preliminary Report on the Eighth United States Census." 
 
 The greater density of population in Rhode Island as compared 
 with other States, is owing to its limited territory, and to the large 
 proportion of its inhabitants who are engaged in manufactures which
 
 XV111. CENSUS OF RHODE ISLAND, 1865, 
 
 have tended to concentrate the population in cities and villages. A 
 very large percentage of the population is living in villages and in 
 the two cities of Providence and Newport ; and almost the whole 
 increase of population in the State, for years past, has been in the 
 cities and villages, while the population of the farming districts has 
 remained stationary, or has declined. 
 
 Referring to the census of 1865, in connection with density of popu- 
 lation, and leaving out the cities of Providence and Newport, we 
 find the least density in West Greenwich, 25 persons to the square 
 mile, and the greatest in North Providence, 970. 
 
 Deducting the two cities, and a few towns in which a large portion 
 of the territory is occupied by villages, the density of population will 
 be greatly reduced. For example : the cities of Providence and 
 Newport, and the six towns, Bristol, Warren, Cranston, Cumberland, 
 North Providence and Pawtucket, contain, in the aggregate, 117.9 
 square miles of territory, and a population of 111,6-70. Tins is only 
 11 per cent, of the area of the State ; but is more than 60 per cent, 
 of the population. 
 
 If we deduct these from the area and population of the State, we 
 have in the rest of the State, 936.7 square miles, with a population 
 of 73,295, which gives only 78 persons to each square mile. 
 
 VILLAGES. 
 
 I have referred to the concentration of population in villa- 
 ges in Rhode Island. In order to show this more fully, direc- 
 tions were given in taking the census to mark on the returns the 
 exact boundaries of all the villages in the State. From these returns 
 the following list is made. The instructions were not fully carried 
 out in all cases, and considerable correspondence and inquiry have 
 been necessary to complete the list, and it is still very imperfect as 
 will be evident on slight examination. I think, however, that in the 
 aggregate, the population of the villages as given, is less than the 
 actual number. 
 
 The table gives the name of each village, the town or towns and 
 the county in which it is situated, and the population of the village 
 living in each town. The population given is for the first day of June, 
 1865. Some of the villages have increased largely since that date. 
 
 For reference, I have marked the villages in which post offices are 
 established, and have also added all the post offices in the' State which 
 are not located in villages :

 It is evident that, in some cases, the places named do not deserve 
 the title of villages ; but they are given as marked in the returns of 
 the census. 
 
 It is probable that very few persons will examine the preceding 
 list of villages without finding, or thinking that they find, errors in it. 
 I can only say that every exertion has been made to make it correct, 
 and that it has caused a great amount of trouble to complete it. 
 
 Two things should be remembered in connection with it : 
 
 First. That the boundaries of villages are in most cases almost 
 entirely arbitrary, and in very many instances there' would naturally 
 be a difference of opinion as to the exact limits which should be in- 
 cluded in a village. 
 
 Second. It should be remembered that the population given is for 
 the first day of June, 1865, and that in some cases there have been 
 great changes in the population since that date.
 
 XXIV. H 1 OF RHODE ISLAND, 1855. 
 
 The foregoing list includes two cities with a imputation of 67. 
 165 villages with a population of 80,042 ; 30 po4t offices not located 
 in villages. The whole number of post offices in the State, is 03. 
 
 The aggregate population of the two cities, and I'M vill; 
 "UT.^i!"*. which is 79.65 per cent, of the whole population of the 
 State. The cities contain 36.37 per cent., and the villages 43.28 per 
 cent, of the whole imputation, leaving only 37,640, or 20.35 per cent. 
 of the population of the State living outside of the cities and vil! 
 We have no data for comparing these Hgures with those of any other 
 State; but presume that if such comparison could be made, it would 
 show that the proportion of the population, living in villages and cities. 
 is considerably greater in Rhode Island than in any other State. 
 
 Neither can we make any comparison of the population living in vil- 
 lages irt 1865. with any previous date, as no previous censu* ot % the 
 State has ever given this information. An examination of a table of 
 the population of each town at different periods, to be given hereafter, 
 will show that nearly all the increase in the population of the State, 
 for many years, has been in the cities and in those towns winch are 
 largely interested in manufactures, while the strictly tanning portions 
 of the State have remained stationary with respect to population, or 
 have declined. 
 
 II. POLITICAL DIVISIONS AND PREVIOUS CENSUS I > 
 OF RHODE ISLAND. 
 
 It is fortunate, for statistical purposes, that the changes in the ter- 
 ritorial limits of cities and towns in Rhode Island have been very few 
 as compared with some of our neighboring States. In the earlier 
 history of the State, towns were divided, and new towns were incor- 
 porated as the convenience of the imputation required ; but from the 
 vear 1781, when Scituate was divided and the town of Foster was 
 incorporated, to the year 185f>, a period of 75 years, only one new 
 town, (Burrillville in 1806,) was created, and no changes of any im- 
 portance were made in the limits of towns. In 1856, Tiverton wa< 
 divided and the town of Fall River was created, and in 18t'J, Paw- 
 tucket and East Providence were admitted from Massachusetts, and 
 Fall River was ceded to that State. These comprise all the impor- 
 tant changes made in the boundaries of towns, in Rhode Island, 
 during the last eighty-five years.
 
 COUNTY DIVISIONS. XXV. 
 
 The history of the County divisions of the State is as follows : 
 
 During the first sixty-seven years after the settlement at Providence, 
 in 1636, nine towns were formed ; but no county organizations were 
 created. These towns were Providence, Portsmouth, Newport, 
 Warwick, Westerly, New Short-ham. North Kingstown, East Green- 
 wich, and Jamestown. 
 
 On the twenty-second day of June, 1703. the Colony was divided 
 into two counties, called Newport county, and the county of Provi- 
 dence Plantations. 
 
 Newport county included the towns on the islands, namely. Ports- 
 mouth, Newport, Jamestown, and New Shoreham, with Newport as 
 the shiretow n. 
 
 The county of Providence Plantations included all the towns on 
 the main land of the Colony, and it was provided that the courts 
 should be held at Providence and Warwick the first year, and at 
 Kingston and Westerly the next year. 
 
 Again, June 16, 1729, the Colony was divided into three counties. 
 Newport county remained as before. The portion of the State which 
 had been called King's Province was organized into a county and called 
 King's countv. It included the towns of Westerly, North Kings- 
 town, and South Kinostown,or all the main land of the State south 
 of East Greenwich. 
 
 The remainder of the State, including East Greenwich, W r arwick, 
 and Providence, was called Providence county, with Providence as 
 the shiretow n. 
 
 Again, January 27, 1746-47, five towns were admitted to the 
 Colonv from Massachusetts. Of these, Little Compton and Tiverton 
 were added to Newport county ; Cumberland was added to Provi- 
 dence countv ; and a new county, called Bristol, was created Feb- 
 ruarv 17, 174647, which included the towns of Warren and Bristol, 
 with the latter as the shiretown. 
 
 Again, June 11, 1750, East Greenwich, West Greenwich, War- 
 wick, and Coventry were taken from Providence county and incor- 
 porated as Kent county, with East Greenwich as the capital. 
 
 In the year 1765, an Act was passed, dividing the State into five 
 counties. This Act was merely a reenactment and confirmation of 
 the Acts already referred to, and made no changes in the organiza- 
 tion of the counties. 
 
 Since June, 1750, a period of 116 years, no changes have been 
 made in the territorial limits of the five counties in the State, except
 
 \XVl. CENSUS OF RHODE ISLAND, 186o. 
 
 that Fall River in Newport county l.as been ceded to Massachusetts, 
 and Paw tucket and East Providence have been added to Providence 
 county. 
 
 The name of King's county was changed to Washington county, 
 October 29, 1781, after the surrender of Cornwallis. The preamble 
 of the Act by which the change was made, is as follows : 
 
 "Whereas, since the declaration of the independence of the United 
 States of America, it becomes the wisdom of the rising republic to 
 obliterate, as far as may be, every trace and idea of that government 
 which threatened our destruction ." 
 
 And yet, at the present time, more than half the towns in the 
 State are named after persons or places connected with English his- 
 tory. It is somewhat remarkable that notwithstanding the great 
 abundance of Indian names connected with the history of Rhode 
 Island, and with localities in the State, not a single town in the State 
 has a name of Indian origin, except Pawtucket which has recently 
 been received from Massachusetts. 
 
 We cannot help thinking that, to this generation at least, Conani- 
 cut, Potowomut, Shawomet, Seaconnet, Pocasset, and Misquamicut 
 would sound more pleasantly than Jamestown, East Greenwich, 
 Warwick, Little Compton, Portsmouth, and Westerly ; and similar 
 changes mi-ht have been made, with advantage, in other towns. 
 
 T> O ~ ' S" 
 
 But these remarks are beyond the province of statistics. 
 
 INCORPORATION OF TOWNS. 
 
 In connection with the previous censuses of Rhode Island, it seemed 
 important to know the date of incorporation of the several towns, hi 
 order to understand the effects of the changes of territorial limits upon 
 the population of each town at the different periods when the censuses 
 were taken. I have, therefore, with considerable trouble, prepared 
 the following table which shows the date of the incorporation of each 
 town and county, with explanatory remarks in regard to the names, 
 changes of boundaries, and other particulars of each town. The table 
 will be found convenient for reference as it condenses and arranges 
 
 o 
 
 information from many sources, some of which it has been difficult to 
 obtain. The dates given previous to 1790, are mostly obtained from 
 Arnold's History of Rhode Island. After considerable examination, 
 I have been unable to find any mistake in the dates as given in that 
 History :

 PREVIOUS CENSUSES OF RHODE ISLAND. 
 
 The notes given in connection with each town in the preceding 
 list, render any further explanations unnecessary. We, therefore, 
 proceed to give the following table which shows the population of 
 each town in Rhode Island, at sixteen different dates, from 1708 to 
 1865 inclusive. For convenient reference, in regard to the changes 
 indicated in the population of each town, I have prefixed the date of 
 incorporation or settlement. 
 
 The table gives the total population at each date, which until the 
 census of 1800, included whites, blacks, and Indians. 
 
 In the United States censuses, from 1800 to 1860 inclusive, " In- 
 dians not taxed," were not enumerated, and are not included in the 
 population. All classes are included in the census of 1865. 
 
 A table will be given hereafter, showing the number of blacks and 
 Indians, at different dates, and explanations will also be given in re-

 CENSUS OF RHODE ISLAND, 1865. 
 NOTES ON THE TABLK. 
 
 I think the preceding table is complete and correct for every census 
 of the State that was ever taken. A census of the City of Provi- 
 dence has been taken every tenth year from the year 1825 to the 
 present time, the particulars of which will be given hereafter. 
 
 Deferring to the preceding table, the following notes in relation to 
 the different censuses, may be of interest : 
 
 The first four censuses, in 1708, 1730, 1748, and 1755, were ordered by the General 
 Assembly, in answer to Queries sent by the Board of Trade in England. 
 
 1708. The report of this census was sent to the Board of Trade, in a communica- 
 tion from Governor Samuel Cranston, dated December 5, 1708. The returns showed 
 the number of "black servants," and "white servants ;" but did not give the num- 
 ber of Indians. There were nine towns in the colony at this date. The returns 
 are taken from the Colonial Records of Rhode Island, volume IV., page 59. 
 
 1730. At the June Session of the General Assembly, in this year, each town was 
 ordered to take a census, " of the inhabitants of each town, whites and others, in 
 such way and manner as they shall think best, and pay the charges of doing thereof; 
 and a return thereof to be made to the Governor, by the town clerk, as soon as may 
 be." The returns show the number of whites, blacks, and Indians, in each of the 
 ten towns then composing the colony. Since the census of 1708, the town of Kings- 
 town had been divided into North and South Kingstown. The returns of this 
 census, in the table, arc taken from "Callender's Historical Discourse." 
 
 1748. Again, in answer to ''Queries of the Board of Trade," a census of the 
 colony was ordered by the General Assembly. This census shows the number of 
 whites, negroes, and Indians in each town. The figures in the table are taken from 
 "A Summary, Historical, Political, &c., by William Douglass, M. D." London : 1760. 
 There is a mistake of nearly one thousand, in the book referred to, in the number of 
 negroes in Newport. The number should be 1,105, as I have given it, instead of 110. 
 At this date there were 24 towns in the colony. Five towns^ had been received from 
 Massachusetts, and other towns had been incorporated since 1730, as will be seen by 
 reference to the table. 
 
 1755. This was the last census ordered by the General Assembly in answer to 
 Queries of the Board of Trade. The report of it was sent by Governor Stephen 
 Hopkins, in a communication dated December 24, 1755. The only returns of this 
 census that I have been able to find, are in "The Early History of NarragansotT," 
 by Elisha R. Potter, Jr. ; R. I. Historical Collections, page 174. This only gives the 
 total population of each town, and does not show the number of whites, blacks, and 
 Indians. At this date there were 25 towns in the colony, Cranston having been 
 incorporated in 1754. 
 
 1774. This was the first census taken by the sole authority of the General Assem- 
 bly, and it was also the first census in which any reference was had to the ages of 
 the population. The returns show, for each town, the number of families, the num- 
 ber of white, males andfemales "above and under" 16 j r ears of age ; the number of 
 blacks, the number of Indians, and the total population. The whole census, giving 
 the particulars of all the families, and the names of all the heads of families in each 
 town in the colony, in 1774, was printed by order of the General Assembly, in 1858. 
 At this date, 1774, there were 29 towns the in colony, Barrington, Johnston, North 
 Providence and Hopkinton having been incorporated since 1755.
 
 NOTES ON THE TABLE. XXXV. 
 
 1776. This census was taken by order of the General Assembly, June Session, 
 1776, on "recommendation of the Most Honorable the Continental Congress." It was 
 ordered that "the account bo taken in the same manner as the inhabitants of this 
 colony were last numbered." I have been able to find no particulars except the 
 total number of inhabitants of each town. See R. I. Colonial Records, volume VII., 
 page 616. The number of the towns in the colony ( 29,) was the same as in 1774. 
 Arnold's History of Rhode Island, volume 2, page 333, says that seamen and other 
 temporary absentees were not counted in this census. 
 
 1782. At the January Session this year, a census of the State was ordered by the 
 General Assembly, and persons "were appointed to take it, in each town. It was 
 ordered that the number of families of whites, Indians, and blacks be taken, the 
 number of males and females of each class, and the number under 16 years of age 
 from 16 to 21. from 21 to oO, and 50 and over. The complete returns are given in volume 
 IX., page 653, of the Colonial Records, recently published. The town of New Shore- 
 ham was omitted from necessity, as it was in the possession of the British at that 
 time. In the table, I have inserted the population of that town, the same as in 1776. 
 
 The three censuses of 1774, 1776, and 1782, enable us to show the effects of the 
 Revolutionary,War on the population of each town in the State. It will be noticed 
 that nearly all the towns declined in population during the war. 
 
 The number of towns, in 1782, was 30, Foster having been incorporated in 1781. 
 According to this census, there were 48,566 whites, 525 Indians, 464 mulattoes, and 
 2,342 blacks in the State,- not including New Shoreham. This was the last census 
 taken by authority of the State, until the year 1865. 
 
 1790. This was the first census taken under the authority of the National Govern- 
 ment. William Peck was the marshal for Rhode Island. It was not as full or minute in 
 the particulars as the State . census of 1782. The particulars of this census, for all 
 the States, are given in "Duane's Collection of Select Pamphlets," printed in 
 Philadelphia in 1813 and 1814. 
 
 1800 to 1860. A statement of the changes made in the schedules of the several 
 United States censuses, may be found in the introduction to the quarto volume of 
 the Re.port on the Census of 1850. 
 
 It has been quite difficult to find the particulars for each town, of several of the 
 earlier censuses. The population of each town, as given in the table, for 1790 and 
 1800, is taken from Duane's Select Pamphlets; the population for 1810, is from the 
 Rhode Island American, of February 12, 1811. 
 
 In several instances the population of the State, as well as of some towns, as given 
 in the table, differs slightly from some published statements. I have, in all cases 
 so far as possible, given the official figures, and think the table will generally be 
 found to be correct. 
 
 INCREASE OF POPULATION. 
 
 The preceding table shows the actual increase or decrease of popu- 
 lation in the several towns in Rhode Island, at different periods. But 
 the relative increase or decrease of population, at different periods, will 
 be shown more plainly by the percentages than by the actual numbers. 
 
 The following table shows the rate of increase or decrease, percent., 
 in the total population of each town and county, between the several 
 dates as given. The minus sign ( ) indicates a decrease :

 XXXVlll. CENSUS OF RHODE ISLAND, 1865. 
 
 It will be noticed that every town in the State shows a decrease in 
 population, at some period of its history. This decrease is often the 
 result of causes which are apparent. Thus, nearly every town, and 
 the whole State, show a decrease in population between 1774 and 
 1782, the period of the war of the revolution. Newport, in particu- 
 lar, suffered largely at this period, and did not regain until 1850 the 
 numbers it had in 1774. During the same period, 1774 to 1782, 
 Providence remained nearly stationary, with a loss of only eleven. 
 
 At some periods the decrease shown in the table, in different towns, 
 does not indicate an actual decrease in the population of a given ter- 
 ritory, but is caused by the division of towns and the incorporation of 
 new towns. Thus, from 1730 to 1748, Providence shows a decrease 
 of 464 ; but during this time, four towns with a population of 3,690, 
 were taken from Providence. A similar example, of recent date, 
 is seen in the town of Tiverton. That town had a population of 
 4,699 in 1850, and only 1,927 in 1860 ; but during this period, Fall 
 River, with a population of 3,377, was taken from Tiverton. Those 
 interested in the history of each town, will find much in the table 
 which will reward an examination of it. 
 
 Referring more particularly to the last table, we find that, during the 
 first period, 1748 to 1774, every town in the State increased in popula- 
 tion, and in most towns the percentage of increase was quite large. 
 
 During the war of the revolution, 1774 to 1782, every town in 
 the State decreased in population, except Coventry, Little Compton, 
 Tiverton, and Exeter. During this period the whole State lost 12.3 
 per cent, of its population. The greatest proportional loss was in 
 Scituate, Newport, Jamestown, Middletown, and Smithfield. The 
 large percentage of decrease in Scituate at this period, was, however, 
 owing to the division of the town, and the incorporation of Foster. 
 
 During the eight years following the close of the war, from 1782 
 to 1790, every town in the State increased largely in population, the 
 rate for the whole State being 31.5 per cent. 
 
 In the next period of ten years, 1790 to 1800, the increase of 
 population in the State was checked, and for the whole State, the 
 increase was only four-tenths of one per cent. In 15 towns there 
 was a decrease. It is probable that this was owing to a considerable 
 emigration from the State at that period. 
 
 From 1800 to 1810, there was a decrease of population in 11 
 towns ; but in the whole State, the increase was 11.4 percent. North
 
 INCREASE OF POPULATION. XXXIX. 
 
 Providence and Bristol showed the greatest proportional increase. 
 Glocester lost 42.4 per cent., all of which was owing to the division 
 of the town, and the incorporation of Burrillville. During the period, 
 1810 to 1820, the State gained 7.8 per cent, in population; but 7 
 towns showed a loss. From 1820 to 1830, the gain in the whole State 
 was 17 per cent. ; but 13 towns showed a loss, the greatest propor- 
 tional loss being 12.8 per cent, in Little Compton. 
 
 About this period a change commenced in the rate of progress of 
 different portions of the State, which has continued to the present 
 time, and is shown by the rapid increase of the manufacturing towns 
 and villages, and the stationary condition, or decline of the farming 
 sections. 
 
 From 1830 to 1840, the whole State gained only 32 per cent., and 
 there was an actual decrease of population in 18 towns. The financial 
 crisis of 1837, bv causing the suspension of many manufactories, and 
 the emigration of many persons to the West, affected seriously the 
 results of the census of 1840. 
 
 The period from 1840 to 1850, was a time of general prosperity in 
 the manufacturing interests of the State, and there was an increase 
 of 35.6 per cent, in the population. Many towns gained largely, 
 thus, Providence, 79.1 per cent. ; Westerly, 44.5 per cent. ; North 
 Providence, 82.5 per cent. ; Cranston, 48.6 ; Burrillville, 78.5 ; East 
 Greenwich, 56.3, &c. Every town in the State gained in population, 
 from 1840 to 1850, except West Greenwich, Jamestown, Middletown, 
 Foster, and Exeter. 
 
 Prom 1850 to 1860, the increase in the population of the State was 
 18.3 per cent., much less than during the ten years previous. Seven 
 towns declined in population during this period, namely, Warren, 
 West Greenwich, Little Compton, Tiverton, Glocester, Scituate, arid 
 Charlestown. The greatest proportional gain, from 1850 to 1860, 
 was in North Providence and Cranston. 
 
 During the five years, 1860 to 1865, including the period of the 
 War of the Rebellion, the increase of population in the State was 
 only 5.9 per cent. Eighteen towns itx the State declined in popula- 
 tion during this period. The largest percentage of increase was in 
 the city of Newport, and in the towns of Cranston and North Provi- 
 dence. The loss in Newport county, during this period, was wholly 
 owing to the cession of Fall River to Massachusetts. Including Fall 
 River, the county gained considerably.
 
 xl. CKNSU8 OF RHOUK ISLAND, ISG.i. 
 
 The addition of East Providence and Pawtucket to Providence 
 county, in 1862, increased largely the percentage of gain in that 
 county, between 1860 and 1865 ; and also the percentage of gain from 
 1790 to 1865. 
 
 The last column in the table shows the percentage of increase or 
 decrease in each town, during the whole period of 75 years, from 
 1790 to 1865. 
 
 It will be seen that 8 towns in Rhode Island have less population 
 in 1865, than they had in 1790. Four of them show a decrease of 
 more than 40 per cent. The eight towns are West Greenwich, loss 
 40.2 per cent. ; Jamestown, loss 81.2 per cent. ; Little Compton, 
 loss 22.4 per cent. ; Tiverton, loss 19.0 per cent. ; Foster, loss 17.4 
 per cent. ; Glocester, loss 43.2 per cent. ; Charlestown, loss 43.9 per 
 cent. ; Exeter, loss 40 per cent. 
 
 In relation to two of these towns, Glocester and Tiverton, the loss 
 in population is easily accounted for. Glocester lost 1,834 of her 
 population by the incorporation of Burrillville, in 1806. But Gloces- 
 ter not only lost this number of persons ; she also lost the territory, 
 which the manufacturing enterprise of later periods, lias developed to 
 such an extent, that in 1865, Burriliville contained 4,861 inhabitants, 
 and Glocester only 2,286. 
 
 Tiverton also shows a loss of 19.6 per cent, of her population in 
 75 years, 1790 to 1865. This loss is wholly caused by the incorpora- 
 tion of the town of Fall River, in 1856. If we include the same 
 territory that Tiverton had in 1748, that town would show a gain in 
 every period included in the table, and Tiverton is the only town in 
 the State that would show an actual gain of population, at every 
 period. 
 
 But there are six towns, West Greenwich, Jamestown, Little 
 Compton, Foster, Charlestown, and Exeter, which show an actual 
 decrease in population, in 75 years, without any loss of territory. 
 How shall we explain this ? 
 
 If we examine the characteristics of these towns, we find that they 
 have, almost exclusively, a farming population, without any large 
 villages. The population is almost entirely native American. No 
 manufacturing interests have brought in large numbers of foreigners. 
 The whole foreign born population of all the six towns is only 144. 
 The average number of persons to a family and to each dwelling, is 
 considerably less in these towns than the average in the whole State.
 
 INCREASE OF POPULATION. xi 
 
 There is nothing in these towns especially calculated to induce immi- 
 gration to them ; and not sufficient inducements in them to keep their 
 young people at home. 
 
 The result is, as in all portions of New England where the pros- 
 perity and progress depend exclusively upon the farming interests, 
 the young people emigrate, many dwellings are left for many years 
 without children in them, a larger proportion than natural of the 
 population is composed of persons not -in the child-bearing period of 
 life, very few children are born, and the population remains stationary, 
 or declines. 
 
 Without giving many reasons which might be stated, or extending 
 the discussion farther, the conclusion seems to be justified : That in 
 the climate of New England; with the present, to a great extent, 
 impoverished condition of its soil ; and in the present state of knowledge 
 of the art of farming ; a community or town, which depends exclu- 
 sively for its progress upon agriculture, cannot be expected, as a 
 general rule, to sustain itself as to numbers, or at least, cannot 
 increase to any great extent. 
 
 It will be noticed that the increase of population in the whole State, 
 from 1790 to 1865, was 168.7 per cent. The extremes of loss and 
 gain in different portions of the State, are a loss of 43.9 per cent, in 
 Charlestown, and a gain of 1,258.8 per cent, in North Providence. 
 
 Only 7 towns, Bristol, Warwick, Cranston, Cumberland, North 
 Providence, Smithh'eld, and Providence, show a greater percentage 
 of gain than the State as a whole. 
 
 ~ 
 
 Nineteen towns either show a loss, or a gain of less than half that 
 of the w r hole State ; and in none of these nineteen towns does the 
 gain equal one per cent, annually. 
 
 Providence city gained 755.7 per cent., from 1790 to 1865, or a 
 fraction over ten per cent, annually. North Providence gained 
 1258.8 per cent., and Cranston, 388.9 per cent. Both of these towns 
 are indebted for their gain, not only to the manufacturing interests 
 within their limits ; but also to their proximity to the City of Provi- 
 dence. 
 
 In Washington county, the greatest gain is in Westerly, 66 per 
 cent., in 75 years ; but in the whole county the gain is only 2.2 per 
 cent, in that time. There are, comparatively, few manufactories in 
 that county ; and we are informed that that county has lost more 
 from emigration to other States, than other portions of Rhode Island.

 xlii CENSUS OF RHODE ISLAND, 186o. 
 
 It is not necessary to continue the subject farther. Those inter- 
 ested in it will find, on examination of the table, many other points 
 which will be instructive. 
 
 It will be evident to all, that the growth and prosperity of the 
 State, so far at least as relates to population, has for many years 
 depended chiefly upon its manufacturing interests. 
 
 CENSUSES OF PROVIDENCE. 
 
 In 1825, and every tenth year since that date, a census of Provi- 
 dence has been taken, the particulars of which are not given in the 
 table on pages xxxii and xxxiii. The total population of Providence, 
 by these city censuses, Avas as follows : 
 
 1825 15,941 1845 31,747 
 
 1835 19,277 1855 47,785 
 
 The full particulars of these censuses were published in 185G, in 
 the appendix to a report upon the "Census of the City of Provi- 
 dence, taken in July, 1855 ; with a brief account of the Manufac- 
 tures, Trade, Commerce, and other Statistics of the city ; by Edwin 
 M. Snow, M. D." 
 
 COLORED POPULATION OF RHODE ISLAND. 
 
 The subject of the condition and prospects of the -negro race in 
 this country, has acquired a new interest by the events of the last 
 few years. At the present time, a concerted and formidable effort is 
 making to bring large numbers of the colored population of the 
 Southern States to New England, and to other Northern States. 
 
 It, therefore, becomes interesting and important to know the past 
 history of the colored race in New England, that we may judge of its 
 prospects in the future. 
 
 I do not propose to discuss the question of the policy of promoting 
 the immigration of the blacks to New England ; except so far as to 
 give the facts in relation to their number in Rhode Island, as shown 
 by past censuses of the State. 
 
 The blacks have existed in Rhode Island, in considerable numbers, 
 about 170 years. In 1708 the census gave no particulars in relation 
 to them ; but stated that there were " 426 black servants " in the 
 colony. This was nearly six per cent. (5.93) of the whole popula- 
 tion at that date. In "1748, they comprised 12.8 per cent, of the 
 whole population.
 
 COLORED POPULATION. xliii 
 
 The social position and standing of the blacks, and their facilities 
 for progress and elevation have probably been better, at all times, in 
 this State, than in any other portion of the country where they have 
 comprised so large a proportion of the population. 
 
 Though slavery existed in the State for a long period, it was in a 
 mild form, and the principles of the people in opposition to it, were 
 shown by legislative enactments ameliorating the condition of the 
 slaves, from the earliest periods in the history of the State. 
 
 During the war of the Revolution, the negroes were permitted to 
 enlist in a Rhode Island regiment, and to assist in maintaining the 
 liberties of their country. A considerable number of them enlisted, 
 and received their freedom for so doing. 
 
 At the close of the Avar, February 23, 1784, an Act was passed 
 providing that all children born after the first of March following, of 
 slave mothers, should be free. This Act,^with others encouraging 
 the manumission of slaves, speedily removed all hindrances to their 
 progress, which slavery might have been supposed to make. 
 
 By the present, the first constitution of Rhode Island, which went 
 into operation on the first Tuesday of May, 1843, the negroes were 
 allowed to vote upon the same conditions as the native American 
 white population, and since that date they have enjoyed all the facili- 
 ties for progress which the right of voting could give them. 
 
 Let us see, then, what has been the progress of the colored popula- 
 tion in Rhode Island, with respect to numbers. 
 
 The following table shows the number of the colored population 
 (blacks and mulattoes,) in each town in Rhode Island, at different 
 periods, from 1730 to 1865, inclusive. 
 
 I have also added the number of Indians, in each town, at several 
 dates.

 WHOLE STATE
 
 xlvi ; CENSUS OF RHODE ISLAND, 1865. 
 
 NOTES. In the first United States census, for the year 1790, the Indians were 
 counted with the blacks, and the number of blacks at that date should probably be 
 about 500 less than in the table. 
 
 In all the national censuses, since 1790, "Indians not taxed" have not been 
 enumerated at all, and are not included in the population of the State, as given for 
 the years, from 1800 to 1860 inclusive. .In the State census of 1865, they were 
 counted with the colored population, and this explains the great increase in the col- 
 ored population of the town of Charlestown, from 1860 to 1865. 
 
 The Xarragansett tribe of Indians still maintains a nominal existence in Ehode 
 Island. They number, at the present time, 58 males, 75 females; total 133. They 
 own about 3,000 acres of land in the town of Charlestown, the title to which has 
 come down to them from their ancestors who occupied the State before its settlement 
 by the whites. They are an independent nation, not taxed, and not citizens of the 
 State or country. They are under the guardianship of the General Assembly, and 
 cannot sell their lands. There are no Indians of pure blood among them at the 
 present time ; but the blood of the African race predominates. 
 
 I have been unable to obtain the number of the colored population, by the census 
 of 1840, except by counties and for a few towns, which are given in the table. 
 
 I am satisfied that, in the census of 1865, and probably in all previous censuses, 
 some colored persons are counted as whites, from the neglect of the enumerators to 
 mark them as "colored" in the returns. The error, however, is probably, similar 
 in all censuses, and does not injure the table for purposes of comparison. 
 
 In the census of 1782, New Shoreham was not included, as it was in possession of 
 the enemy. I have given the colored population of that town, for that year, the 
 same as in 1774. 
 
 Previous to 1790, there is, in the census returns, no distinction in the colored 
 population, between the slaves and the free. It is probable that until the beginning 
 of the revolutionary war, the greater portion of the blacks were slaves, but by the 
 efiects'of the war, and by manumission, the number of slaves had been reduced to 
 948, in 1790. The number of slaves in the State, at different dates, as shown by the 
 United States censuses, was as follows: 1790, 948; 1800, 330; 1810, 108; 1820, 
 48; 1830, 14; 1840, 5. 
 
 The last slave in the State, James Howland, died in Jamestown, January 3, 1859, 
 at the age of 100 years. 
 
 The number of colored persons in Rhode Island, (not including 
 Indians,) and their proportion of the total population at different 
 dates, have been as follows :

 COLORED POPULATION. xlvii 
 
 There was a large decrease in the number, both of blacks and 
 Indians, between the censuses of 1774 and 1782, comprising the 
 period of the war of the revolution. 
 
 It will be noticed that the percentage of blacks, in the population 
 of Rhode Island, has steadily decreased from the year 1748 to the 
 present time ; and that the whole number, in 1865, including the 
 nominal Indians in Charlestown, was only 319 greater than in 1774. 
 This is an increase of only a little more than 8 per cent, in 91 years. 
 The white population increased more than 223 per cent, in the same 
 period. 
 
 During this period, and particularly during the last twenty years, 
 the immigration of blacks into Rhode Island has largely exceeded the 
 emigration. 
 
 The results of registration in the State, since 1850, show that 
 there are more deaths than births among the colored population. 
 From the first day of June, 1853, to the thirty-first day of Decem- 
 ber, 1864, inclusive, the Registration Reports of Rhode Island show 
 929 births, and 1,025 deaths among the colored population of the 
 State. A table in the sixth report, for the year 1858, shows that, 
 during five years and seven months ending Decejnber 31, 1858, the 
 percentage of deaths among the colored population, from consumption 
 and other diseases of the respiratory organs, which depend to a great 
 extent upon climate, was nearly double the percentage from the same 
 diseases among the white population. 
 
 These reports also show that the proportion of deaths to the living, 
 in Rhode Island, is more than twice as great among the colored popu- 
 lation as among the white population. 
 
 Without pursuing the subject further, and without giving many 
 reasons which might be stated, the conclusions are to my mind, cer- 
 tain, as follows : 
 
 That the colored population of New England is not self-sustaining 
 as to numbers; that the climate and other influences are such that 
 it would steadily decrease and, unless renewed by immigration, 
 would, in a comparatively brief period, become extinct. 
 
 Finally, if this be true, it is not philanthropy, but positive inhu- 
 manity to the race and to individuals, to encourage their emigration 
 from the Southern States to New England.

 III. COMMENTS UPON THE TABLES. 
 
 1. TABLES OF POPULATION. 
 
 The statistics relating to the population of Rhode Island, as obtained 
 by the census of 1865, are given in the tabular portions of this 
 volume, pages 1 to 52 inclusive. These statistics are given in full, 
 for each town and county separately, and for each ward in the cities 
 of Providence and Newport. 
 
 The information given in these tables is much more full and more 
 minute than has ever been given in any census of the State, and on 
 some subjects, information is given which cannot be found in any 
 census of any State, ever published. 
 
 An examination of the tables will show to the citizens of every 
 town in the State, a multitude of facts relating to the population of 
 each town, which will be found interesting and important. The 
 minute analysis of the population is especially valuable in connection 
 with the registration of births, marriages, and deaths, and will be 
 much used in the reports upon that subject. 
 
 It will be impossible, in this report, to dwell upon all the infinite 
 variety of subjects that are suggested by the tables. I shall attempt 
 only, to give such explanations as may seem to be necessary fora full 
 understanding of the tables themselves ; and to notice, briefly, such 
 interesting, or important, or curious facts as may be suggested in the 
 examination of them. 
 
 DWELLING HOUSES AND FAMILIES. 
 
 The first table, on page 2, shows the number of dwelling houses, 
 and the materials of which they are built, and the number of families 
 in each town in the State, on the first day of June, 1865. 
 
 There were 28,666 dwelling houses in the State, and 39,208 fami- 
 lies, giving 1.4 families, and 6.45 persons to each dwelling; and 4.72 
 persons to each family. By the United States census of 1860, there 
 were 27,056 dwelling houses in the State, giving 6.43 persons to each 
 dwelling.
 
 DWELLING HOUSES AND FAMILIES. xlix 
 
 The average number of persons to a dwelling house, in 1860, was 
 considerably greater in Rhode Island than in any other State of the 
 United States ; but is largely exceeded in some countries in Europe. 
 In Scotland and in some portions of Germany, there are from 6.84 to 
 8.86 persons to each dwelling, and in the cities of Scotland the 
 average is 14.11 persons to each dwelling. Some portions of New 
 York city show a still greater average. 
 
 The greatest average number of families to each dwelling house 
 in Rhode Island, was 1.68 in Providence, though in North Providence 
 the number was 1.60, nearly as great. 
 
 In four towns, West Greenwich, Jamestown, Exeter, and Rich- 
 mond, there were more dwelling houses than families. 
 
 The greatest average number of persons to a dwelling house was 
 8.06 in Providence, and 7.93 in North Providence ; the smallest 
 number was 4.38, in Richmond. 
 
 The greatest average number of persons to each family was 5.52 
 in Barrington ; the smallest number was 4.07, in Little Compton. 
 
 To those not familiar with the subject the question may arise, why 
 the average should be so large in Barrington ? The explanation is 
 easy. In taking the census of the families, the inmates of hotels, 
 boarding houses, and public institutions are counted as single families. 
 
 In Barrington, the whole number of families, and the total popu- 
 lation are small, and a single very large boarding house is sufficient to 
 increase largely the average number of persons to a family. A single 
 family of 100 persons, deducted from the whole number in that town, 
 would reduce the average to 5 persons to each family. 
 
 There were 926 empty dwelling houses in the State, by the census 
 of 1865. The greatest number in any town 'was 120, in Newport; 
 the least number 4, in Tiverton. In some towns, as Warwick, Cum- 
 berland, and Scituate, the large number of empty houses was mostly 
 owing to temporary causes which have since been removed, and a 
 census at the present time, would show a considerable increase in the 
 number of families, and in the population. 
 
 Of the 28,666 dwelling houses in the State, 27,959 were con- 
 structed of wood, and only 432 of brick, and 275 of stone. Even in 
 the City of Providence, 96.36 in each 10.0 of the dwelling houses 
 were of wood, and only 3.64 in each 100, of brick or stone. The 
 proportion of wooden dwelling houses is less in Cumberland than in 
 Providence.

 CENSUS OF RHODE ISLAND, 1865. 
 
 SEX AND COLOR. 
 
 We have already given the statistics of the colored population in 
 Rhode Island, and have shown its rate of increase in the past. It 
 will be noticed that, in 1865, much more than half of the whole colored 
 population in the State, was in the cities of Providence and Newport. 
 
 In regard to sex, there were in 1805, in Rhode Island, 8,439 more 
 females than males. The proportions of the sexes, white and colored, 
 were as follows : 
 
 White population 47.80 males, and 52.20 females in each 100 
 
 Colored population 43.87 males, and 56.13 females in each 100 
 
 Total population 47.72 males, and 52.23 females in each 100 
 
 Though there is an excess of females in the whole State, and in 
 most of the towns, the following towns show an excess of males, viz. : 
 Barrington, West Greenwich, Jamestown, Middletown, New Shore- 
 ham, Portsmouth, Cranston, Glocester, Johnston, and Exeter. The 
 same towns showed an excess of males by the census of 1860. 
 
 Generally, in New England, there is, for obvious reasons, a large 
 excess of females in the population, while in the newer States, the 
 opposite is true. In the whole country, in 1860, there was an excess 
 of 730,000 males, in a population of thirty-one millions. 
 
 NATIVITY. 
 
 The subject of nativity, or birth-place of the population, is of very 
 great interest and importance, particularly in this country, where the 
 enormous influx of foreigners is changing the whole character of the 
 population in some sections of the older States, and is building up 
 immense empires in the west with a people differing in all their social 
 cliaract eristics from those who laid the foundations of our republic, and 
 who have thus far exercised a controlling influence in its government. 
 
 And yet, this important subject has received but little attention, 
 until a recent period, in the national and State censuses of this 
 country. None of the United States censuses, until that of 1850, 
 obtained any particulars in regard to the birth-places of the popula- 
 tion, except that the censuses of 1820 and 1830. showed the num- 
 ber of " foreigners not naturalized." 1 No particulars were, however, 
 given in relation to them.
 
 NATIVITY.- H 
 
 The census of 1850 commenced a new era in this, and in other 
 important particulars, -and gives us, minutely, the birth-places of the 
 whole population. 
 
 In the census of Rhode Island, in 1865, I have illustrated this sub- 
 ject very fully, giving all the particulars that can possibly be of gen- 
 eral interest and value, and also some particulars which are of local 
 interest only. The statistics relating to the birth-places of the popu- 
 lation of the State, are given in tables IV to XIV inclusive, on 
 pages 5 to 22 inclusive, of the tabular portion of this volume. 
 
 These tables show, in relation to each town and county in the 
 State, and in relation to each ward in the cities of Providence and 
 Newport ; how many of the inhabitants were born in each town in 
 Rhode Island, how many were born in each of the United States, 
 and how many were born in each foreign country. 
 
 Table IV on page 5, shows in general terms the birth-places of 
 the population of each town in the State, on the first of June, 1865. 
 Of the 184,965 inhabitants of the State, 75,055 were born in the 
 towns in which they resided ;. 37,152 had moved from the towns in 
 which they were born, to other towns in the State, making a total of 
 112,207 inhabitants of the State who were born in the State ; 33,055 
 of the inhabitants of tlie State were born in other of the United 
 States ; and 39,703 were born in foreign countries. 
 
 In 1860, the population of Rhode Island was : born in the State, 
 109,965 ; born in other States, 27,161 ; born in foreign countries, 
 37,394 ; born at sea, 14 ; unknown birth-place, 86 ; total, 174,620. 
 
 In the population of the towns of Cranston and Johnston, there 
 were more natives of other towns in the State, than there were 
 natives of the towns themselves. 
 
 In the towns of Cranston, Cumberland, North Providence, and 
 Pawtucket, the number of inhabitants who were born in foreign 
 countries was greater than the number who were born in those 
 towns. 
 
 A word of explanation is necessary in relation to the figures in this 
 and the following tables, for East Providence and Pawtucket. These 
 towns were admitted from Massachusetts, in 1862. In the census of 
 1865, the directions, in relation to birth-place, were "if in Rhode 
 Island, give the town ; if elsewhere, give the State or country." It
 
 lii CENSUS OF KUODK ISLAND, 1865. 
 
 would seem from the figures, that in East Providence, the enumer- 
 ators put down those who were born in the town, previous to 18(32, 
 as born in Massachusetts, while in Pawtucket they gave them as born 
 in Rhode Island. Both were right, and botli were wrong. 
 
 Table V, pages 6 to 9 inclusive, shows how many of the inhabit- 
 ants of each town were born in each town in Rhode Island, and illus- 
 trates some curious features of the migration of the population within 
 the limits of the State. If we look at the name of a town, at the 
 top of the table, and follow the column down we see how many 
 natives of that town are living in the State, and the towns in which 
 they live. Thus, take the town of Warwick, and look down the 
 column, and we find that there are 5,296 natives of Warwick living 
 in the State ; that 2,822 of them were living in Warwick ; 828 in 
 Providence ; 277 in Cranston, &c. There are natives of Warwick 
 living in every town in the State, except Jamestown ; natives of 
 West Greenwich living in every town, except Little Compton and 
 Burrillville ; natives of Providence living in every town except 
 Tiverton, &c., &c. 
 
 If we look at the name of the town on the left of the table, and 
 follow the line across the table, we see how many of the inhabitants 
 of that town were born in each town in the State. Thus, take Provi- 
 dence city and look across the table and we find that every town in 
 the State, except Pawtucket, is largely represented in the population 
 of Providence. The reason that there are none in Providence who 
 were born in Pawtucket, and but few who were born in East Provi- 
 dence, in the table, is because in taking the census in Providence, 
 those who were born in those towns, previous to 1862, were put 
 down as born in Massachusetts. 
 
 Nearly every town in the State is represented in the population 
 of Newport, and natives of Newport are living in every town in the 
 State except Glocester. In Newport the proportion of the whole 
 population, who were born in the town where they reside, is larger 
 than in most of the towns. 
 
 The table also shows how many inhabitants each town in the State 
 has given to, and received from, each other town. Thus, Coventry 
 has given 90 persons to Newport, and 817 to Providence ; and has receiv- 
 ed 10 from Newport, and 59 from Providence. Westerly has given
 
 NATIVITY. Jiii 
 
 37 to Providence, and received the same number from Providence. 
 Burriliville has given 4 to Westerly, and received 2 from Westerly. 
 New Shoreham has given 813 natives to other towns in the State, 
 and received only 60 from other towns. 
 
 There seems to be no special law which has governed the migration 
 of the population within the limits of the State, except the tendency 
 of the population of the smaller towns and farming districts, to the 
 cities and manufacturing towns. 
 
 Table VI, pages 10 to 12 inclusive, shows how many of the inhab- 
 itants of each town in Rhode Island, in 1865, were born in each of 
 the United States. 
 
 Every State in the Union, at that time, except Oregon, was repre- 
 sented in the population of Rhode Island. There were natives of 
 Connecticut, Massachusetts and New York living in every town in 
 the State ; natives of New Hampshire, in every town except James- 
 town, Hopkinton, and Richmond ; natives of Vermont, in every 
 town except Jamestown, Middletown and New Shoreham ; natives of 
 Virginia, in every town except East Greenwich, Little Compton, New 
 Shoreham, Exeter, and South Kingstown ; natives of Maine, in every 
 town except West Greenwich, Foster, Charlestown, and Exeter; 
 natives of Pennsylvania, in every town except Jamestown, Little 
 Compton, Tiverton, Charlestown, and Richmond. 
 
 The following shows the number of natives of other States living 
 in Rhode Island, in 1860 and in 1865.

 The large increase of natives of Massachusetts living in Rhode 
 Island in 1865, was partly owing to the annexation of Pawtucket and 
 East Providence, in 1862.
 
 liv CENSUS OF RHODE ISLAND, 1865. 
 
 By the United States census of 1860, the number of natives of 
 Rhode Island living in the United States, was as follows :

 Total in whole country 155,264 
 
 By the census of ] 860, there were 3,144,598 natives of the New Eng- 
 land States, living in the United States. Of this number, 2,584,262 
 were living in the New England States, and 560,336, in other States. 
 
 During the ten years, 1850 to 1860, there was an emigration of 
 106,445 natives of the New England States, from New England to 
 other States in the country ; an average of 10,644 annually. 
 
 These facts are important in view of the fact, that in some towns 
 of Rhode Island as well as in other New England States, the popula- 
 tion is stationary as to numbers, or decreasing. 
 
 This enormous emigration of the native American population of 
 New England shows how this population may be stationary, or even 
 decreasing in some portions of New England, and still the same popu- 
 lation, as a class, may be increasing in the whole country, and be ful- 
 filling its mission in the world, to the utmost extent. 
 
 The seventh table, pages 13 to 15 inclusive, shows how many of 
 the inhabitants of each town in Rhode Island, in 1865, were born in 
 different foreign countries. 
 
 The following shows the number of persons of foreign birth in 
 Rhode Island, by the censuses of 1850, 1860 and 1865 :

 There were 39,703 persons of foreign birth in Rhode Island, in 
 1865, or 21.46 per cent, of the whole population. Though 30 dif-
 
 REMARKS ON NATIVITY. Iv 
 
 ferent countries were represented in this population, 39,192 of the 
 whole number were from five countries. 
 
 The population of foreign birth, in 1850, was 15.66 per cent, of 
 the whole population of the State ; in 1860, it was 21.41 per cent., 
 and in 1865, it was 21.46 per cent. 
 
 In the City of Providence, the number of persons of foreign birth 
 has increased but little for the last fifteen years, while the percentage 
 has decreased. The number and proportion of foreigners, (by birth,) 
 in Providence, at different periods, have been as follows :

 1860 50,666 12,570 24.80 
 
 1865 54,595 13,402 24.54 
 
 The number of natives of Ireland, living in Providence, was 378 
 less, in 1865, than it was in 1855. 
 
 The natives of British America show the largest proportional 
 increase, in the foreign population of Rhode Island, during the last 
 fifteen years. Many of these are French Canadians who are em- 
 ployed in our manufacturing villages. Considerable numbers of this 
 class are found in Barrington, Coventry, Warwick, Burrillville, Cum- 
 berland and Smithfield. 
 
 In 1850, the natives of Ireland comprised 68.99 per cent, of the 
 whole foreign populatioii (by birth J in Rhode Island; in 1860, 67.61 
 per cent., and in 1865, 68.08 per cent. 
 
 REMARKS ON NATIVITY OF THE POPULATION. 
 
 It will be seen from an examination of the tables, and from the 
 preceding comments, that I have given very minute and full infor- 
 mation in relation to the nativity, or birth-places of the population of 
 Rhode Island. One of the important objects of a census of popula- 
 tion is to enable us to divide it into classes, and thus, knowing the 
 social, political, moral, religious, or other characteristics of these 
 classes, to study and judge of their influence upon the population and 
 prospects of a community. 
 
 With this object in view, the subject of the nativity of a popula- 
 tion, has many interesting and valuable features, and it is very 
 important that the facts relating to it should be presented fully 
 and minutely, in all censuses.
 
 Ivi CENSUS OF RHODE ISLAM!* 1865. 
 
 But in some classifications of the population, and in some of the 
 most important, the nativity or birth-place of the people is of very 
 slight importance, and if the nativity alone be given, the statistics 
 are of little value, and will, in fact, only mislead and deceive us in 
 all important investigations. 
 
 Take, for example, the division of the population into the two 
 classes, American and foreign. The subject of the influence of the 
 foreign population upon the social, moral and political prospects of 
 this country^ is one of the most important that can engage the atten- 
 tion of the statesman, or of any citizen. 
 
 But it is not the foreign population, by birth alone, which is exert- 
 ing its influence upon our institutions, and moulding the social and 
 other characteristics of the community ; it is the foreign population, 
 including the children, born in this country, of foreign parents. These 
 children, for the first generation at least, partake of all the social, 
 moral, political, and sanitary influences of their parents, and it is 
 through them that the chief influence of this population is exerted 
 upon our institutions and habits, as a people. 
 
 In fact, in large portions of our country, including Xew England, 
 and particularly in Rhode Island, the foreign population, by nativity, 
 exerts very little influence upon our social or political institutions. 
 In this State, the foreigners, by birth, comprise only about 21 per 
 cent, of the population, very few of them ai'e voters, their number 
 is but very slowly increasing, and as it can increase only by immigra- 
 tion, the prospects of any great increase in future, are very slight. 
 On the contrary, the prospects are, that in Rhode Island, the number 
 of foreigners, by birth, will remain nearly stationary for the present, 
 and in a few years will begin to decrease. 
 
 But foreigners, including their children, and through their children* 
 
 O ~ * > ~ 
 
 are now exerting a tremendous influence, not only in Rhode Island, 
 but also throughout the country, and are modifying to a greater or 
 less extent, all the moral, social, and other characteristics of our 
 population. 
 
 It seems to me, then, to be of the utmost importance that in our 
 censuses, and in all our statistical investigations, we should be able to 
 classify the population not only by nativity, but also by parentage, ; 
 that we should be able to show not only the facts relating to persons 
 of foreign birth, but also those relating to their children, as distin- 
 guished from the children of American parents.
 
 It EM ARKS ON NATIVITY. Ivil 
 
 And yet, notwithstanding the importance of these facts, no national 
 or State census, in this country, previous to the census of Rhode 
 Island, in 1865, lias ever given this classification, or hardly alluded 
 to it. 
 
 If we refer to these censuses, to study the facts relating to the 
 American and foreign population, we find that, according to birth- 
 place, the only classification given in them, the American class 
 includes all the Americans and their children, and also all the chil- 
 dren born in this country, of foreign parents, while the foreign class 
 includes only persons of foreign birth. 
 
 The American class includes all the children in the community, 
 and nearlv all of the aged persons, while the foreign class is composed 
 mostly of persons in the prime of life. 
 
 If we extend our inquiries to criminal statistics, we find that nearly 
 all the juvenile crime in the community is committed by the American 
 class, and that the truants, and the inmates of all our reform schools 
 and other similar institutions, belong almost exclusively to this class. 
 
 If we look at educational statistics, we find that nearly all those 
 who are growing up in ignorance, and cannot read and write, under 
 20 years of age, belong to the American population, by nativity. 
 
 If we turn to vital statistics, we find that the average age of those 
 who die of the American population, according to nativity, is less 
 than half the average age of those who die of the foreign population. 
 
 In relation to cholera infantum, and other diseases of childhood 
 which are caused to a great extent by filth, improper food, and other 
 defects in home life, we find that those who die, belong, almost exclu- 
 sively, to the American population, and that almost none of the 
 foreign population die from these causes. 
 
 If we wish to study the comparative increase of the American 
 and foreign population, we find, for example, in the City of Boston, 
 in 1865, that an American population, by nativity, of 126,804, had 
 only 1,650 children, while a foreign population of 66,020 had 3,587 
 children in the same year. We also find that in the same city, in the 
 same year, 3,127 died of the American population, by birth, and only 
 1,381 of the foreign population, showing an immense loss in the 
 American, and a great gain in the foreign population. 
 
 It is not necessary to state that all the conclusions given above 
 are utterly false and deceptive, and yet, they are all true, if we 
 depend upon our censuses for our information. There has never
 
 Iviil CENSUS OF RHODE ISLAND, 1865. 
 
 been a national or State census in this country, until the recent census 
 of Rhode Island, in which it is possible to find the facts which will 
 give us any different conclusions. 
 
 They all ignore, entirely, the subject of parentage, and give us no 
 facts by which the children of foreign parents can be distinguished 
 from the American population. 
 
 PARENTAGE. 
 
 In the census of Rhode Island, in ] 865, in addition to the full par- 
 ticulars relating to the nativity, or birth-place of the population, I 
 have given the facts in relation to the parentage, by which we can 
 show how many children of foreign parents, and of each class of 
 foreign parents, there are living in the State. I have also shown 
 how many persons there are in the State, of mixed parentage, that 
 is, of whom one parent was of American and the other of foreign 
 birth. 
 
 These particulars are given, for each town in the State and for 
 each ward in the cities of Providence and Newport, in tables XV to 
 XVIII inclusive, pages 23 to 27 inclusive, of the present volume. I 
 have, also, added tables XX and XXII, which show the sex, accord- 
 ing to parentage, and the age, according to parentage, of the popula- 
 tion of each ward in the City of Providence. 
 
 Referring to these tables, we are able to see the difference between 
 the nativity and parentage of the population, which, for the whole 
 State, is as follows : 
 
 ACCORDING TO NATIVITY. 
 
 Americans 145,262, or 78.54 per cent, of all. 
 
 Foreigners 39,703, or 21.46 per cent, of all. 
 
 Total population 184.965, 100.00 
 
 ACCORDING TO PARENTAGE. 
 
 American 117,316, or 63.43 per cent, of all. 
 
 Foreign 67,649, or 36.57 per cent, of all. 
 
 Total population 184,965 100.00 
 
 In this statement, those of mixed parentage are given according to 
 the birth-place of their fathers. 
 
 It seems that, according to parentage, the American population is 
 27,946 less, and the foreign population is the same number greater,
 
 PARENTAGE. lix 
 
 than according to nativity. These 27,946 individuals are the children 
 born in this country, of foreign parents. 
 
 In this classification, according to parentage, the American class 
 includes those born in the United States with their children ; while 
 the foreign class includes those born in foreign countries with their 
 children. It is obvious that this is the correct classification, and the 
 only classification that is of any value in investigations relating to 
 these divisions of the population. 
 
 Table XV, page 23, shows the number of each foreign class, 
 according to parentage, in each town, and in the whole State. 
 
 The following; table shows the number of each foreign class of the 
 
 O O 
 
 population, both according to nativity and according to parentage, in 
 the whole State. The first column of figures shows the number 
 according to birth-place ; the second column, the number according to 
 parentage ; and the third column shows the difference between the 
 other two, which is the number of children, born in this country, of 
 each class. The population of mixed parentage are necessarily 
 omitted in this table.

 It will be noticed that the number born in British America exceeds 
 the number of British American parentage. The explanation of this 
 is, that many of those born in British America, are of Irish, English, 
 Scotch, or other parentage. 
 
 MIXED PARENTAGE. 
 
 It seems, from table XV, that there are 1,759 persons in the State, 
 whose fathers were born in the United States, and whose mothers 
 were born in some foreign country ; there are, also, 1,799 persons 
 with fathers born in some foreign country, and mothers born in the 
 United States, making a total of 3,558 persons of " mixed " parent- 
 age, in the whole State.
 
 Ix CENSUS OF RHODE ISLAND, 1865* 
 
 The subject of the intermingling, by marriage, of persons born in 
 different countries, is of considerable interest in this State, as well as 
 throughout the country, and will become much more important in 
 future. A census in which the nativity alone of the population is 
 given, can give us no information upon this subject. 
 
 In the City of Providence, during eleven years, 1855 to 1865 
 inclusive, there were 1,371 children born of " mixed " parentage, or 
 precisely 8 per cent, of the whole number of children born. During 
 the same period, the annual number of " mixed " marriages was from 
 8.84 to 14.63 per cent, of the whole number. 
 
 Table XVII on page 26, shows} us the number of persons, Ameri- 
 can and foreign, both by nativity and by parentage, in each town in the 
 State ; and also the percentage of American and of foreign parent- 
 age, in each town. It will be seen that the proportion of foreign 
 population differs greatly in different towns ; the greatest proportion 
 being in the cities and manufacturing towns. The least percentage 
 of foreign is in Exeter, only 1.47 in each 100 of the total population, 
 while in North Providence, 56.17 in each 100 are of foreign parent- 
 age. In 3 towns, Cumberland. North Providence and Pawtucket, 
 the population of foreign parentage exceeds that of American parent- 
 age ; and in Burrillville, Cranston and Smithfield there is but a 
 small difference. 
 
 In all the above towns, and in the aggregate for all the towns of 
 Providence county, the percentage of the population of foreign 
 parentage is greater than in the City of Providence. 
 
 The census of the City of Providence, in 1855, was taken like 
 that, in 1865, so as to show the parentage as well as the nativity of 
 the population. We are, therefore, able to compare the results, in 
 this respect, of an interval of ten years, in the history of the city. 
 They are as follows :

 In the figures for 1855, in the above statement, those of unknown 
 birth-place or parentage, are omitted. This fact makes an apparent 
 discrepancy in the figures as given above. In the census of 1865, 
 there were none of unknown nativity, or parentage, in the city or in 
 the State. 
 
 Tlie percentages given above are the proportions of the total popu- 
 lation of the city. Looking at the actual gain of the two classes of 
 the population, we have the following: 
 
 Birthplace. 1855. 1865. . Gain. Gain per cent.

 American 27,897 30,702 2,805 10.05 
 
 Foreign 19,432 23,893 4,461 22.95 
 
 This shows that, according to nativity or birth-place, the American 
 population is increasing far more rapidly than the foreign ; a fact 
 which might be expected, as, by this classification, all the children 
 born in this country, of foreign parents, are counted with the Ameri- 
 can population. 
 
 It also shows that, according to parentage, the foreign population is 
 increasing much faster than the American ; a fact which might be 
 expected, as it is well known that the class of persons of foreign 
 birth, who live in this country, has more children in proportion to 
 its numbers, than "the population of American birth. 
 
 Some persons, looking at this last fact, have concluded that the 
 females of the native American population of New England, as a 
 class, are degenerating, and that this population, as a class, is decreas- 
 ing and must soon run out. 
 
 Without discussing the subject at length, at this time, we may 
 observe that it is easy to explain why, without any degeneracy, the 
 native American population now living in New England should have 
 less children in proportion to its numbers, than the foreign population 
 now livincr here.
 
 Ixii CENSUS OF RHODE ISLAND, 1865. 
 
 In the first place, we should recollect the enormous emigration, 
 during the last thirty years, of natives of New England to the West- 
 ern States. By the census of 1860, there were 560,336 natives of 
 the New England States living in other States, and the increase, from 
 1850 to 1860, of natives of New England, living in other States, was 
 equal to an emigration of 10,645 annually. This only includes 
 the actual increase in the number of natives of New England, living 
 in other States, between 1850 and 1860, as shown by the censuses of 
 those periods. To know the actual emigration from New England, 
 during that time, we should add the number of natives of New 
 England who were living in other States in 1850, and who died 
 between 1850 and 1860. Remember too, that these emigrants are 
 almost exclusively young persons, or persons in the prime of life, 
 precisely the class to which we must look for the natural increase of 
 the population. 
 
 The result of this is, that the native American population which is 
 left in New England is not, so to speak, a normal population ; that 
 is, it does not comprise the natural proportions of youth, middle age, 
 and old age ; but has a larger proportion than natural of aged persons, 
 and a smaller proportion than natural of persons in the periods of life 
 in which we may expect the production of children. 
 
 The foreign population living in New England, on the contrary, is 
 composed almost entirely of young persons and of persons in the 
 prime of life, with an exceedingly small proportion of aged persons. 
 Such a population, as a class, will have, of course, more children in 
 proportion to its numbers, than a population made up as the American 
 population of New England is at present. 
 
 It will be seen, from table XXII, on page 38, that 92.47 per cent, 
 of the American population, in 1865, in the City of Providence, 
 according to parentage, was under 60 years of age, and 7. 53 percent, 
 was of the age of 60 and over ; while of the foreign population, 
 96.39 per cent, was under 60, and only 3.61 per cent, was 60 years 
 and over. In the country towns, the true home and origin of the 
 native American population of New England, the proportion of aged 
 persons is very much greater, and that of young persons is very much 
 smaller, than in the cities. 
 
 SEX, NATIVITY AND PARENTAGE. 
 
 In the registration of deaths, in the City of Providence, it has been 
 found that there is a marked difference between the American and
 
 SEX, NATIVITY AND PARENTAGE. Ixiii 
 
 foreign population, in the proportions of the sexes of decedents from 
 consumption. Of the decedents from consumption, of American 
 parentage, a large excess is females, while of the decedents of foreign 
 parentage, the proportion of the sexes is nearly equal, with sometimes 
 an excess of males. 
 
 For this reason, and others which might be named, it is of con- 
 siderable interest and importance to know the proportion of the sexes, 
 according to nativity and parentage, among the living population. 
 
 This is given in tables XIX and XX, on page 28, for the City of 
 Providence. The result is as follows : 
 
 ACCORDING TO NATIVITY. 
 
 Birth-Place. Males. Females. Males. Females. 
 
 Born in the United States. 19,511 21.682, or 47.37, and 52.63 in each 100. 
 
 Born in Foreign Countries 5,708 7,694, or 42.59. and 57.41 in each 100. 
 
 ACCORDING TO PARENTAGE. 
 
 Parentage. Males. Females. Males. Females. 
 
 American 14,444 16,258, or 47.05, and 52.95 in each 100. 
 
 Foreign. 10,775. .. .13,118, or 45.10, and 54.90 in each 100. 
 
 Those of mixed parentage are given according to the birth-place of 
 their fathers. 
 
 The above figures show that, both by birth-place and by parentage, 
 the proportion of females is greater among the foreign than among 
 the American population of Providence. We must look farther for 
 the explanation of the greater proportion of female decedents, from 
 consumption, among the American than among the foreign population. 
 
 AGE AND SEX. 
 
 The number of persons of each sex, in each division of ages, in 
 each town and county in Rhode Island, and in each ward in the cities 
 of Providence and Newport, is given in table XXI, pages 29 to 37 
 inclusive. 
 
 This table contains all the information usually given in modern 
 censuses, in relation to the ages of the population, and will be found 
 to contain much that is interesting and important, respecting the 
 population of each town, and of the whole State.
 
 Ixiv CENSUS OF RHODE ISLAND, 1865. 
 
 Many other classifications and divisions, in connection with age, 
 might have been given, all of which would be found useful to those 
 interested in the investigation of the present condition and future 
 prospects of the 'population of the State; but it seemed necessary to 
 place a limit upon the number of tables given, and I have, therefore, 
 omitted many which my own inclinations would have led me to 
 insert. 
 
 The subject of the ages of the living is of very great importance 
 in studying the existing characteristics and future prospects of the 
 population of any community or State. The number and proportion 
 of the sexes at different ages, the proportions of different classes of 
 the population at different ages, the proportions of the dependent and 
 productive classes, as shown by age, the longevity of the population, 
 the probable and comparative mortality, and many other subjects, may 
 be illustrated by tables of ages of the-population, and all are important 
 for a full understanding of the interests and characteristics of a com- 
 munity. 
 
 As has been said by an eminent statistical writer : 
 
 "The ages of a population are among the most important elements 
 of information, and form some of the best means of comparing the 
 people of one place with those of another ; or the people of one 
 place, at one period, with tlipse of the same place at another period. 
 A census in which the ages are not taken is comparatively useless. 
 A people may be more or less healthy or unhealthy, efficient or in- 
 efficient, happy or unhappy, according as a greater or less number is 
 found of one age or another. These truths will be appa- 
 
 rent to all who study the laws of health, life and longevity, and com- 
 pare the operations of these laws in different places." 
 
 Notwithstanding the importance of the subject, I feel compelled, 
 m its examination, to limit myself to a very few points. It would be 
 extremely interesting to show the differences, in respect to age, and 
 proportions at different ages, which exist between the different towns 
 and divisions of the State ; but this must be omitted. Those inter- 
 ested in the subject and in the population of the several towns, will 
 be rewarded by an examination of the tables given, with reference to 
 this point. I propose, only, to give a few facts and comparisons, relat- 
 ing to the ages of the population of the State as a whole.

 At all ages, under 20. the proportions of males, to the whole num- 
 ber of males, are greater than the proportions of females to the whole 
 number of females, though in the division, 1 and under 2, the 7iumber 
 of females exceeds the number of males. In other words, of all the 
 persons living in the State, there is a greater proportion of males than 
 of females under 20 years of age. The proportions are as follows : 
 Under 20 years of age, males, 43.04 per cent. ; females, 39.58 per 
 cent. 
 
 In the population, of 60 years of age and over, there is a large 
 excess of females, both in numbers and in percentages. Thus, sixty 
 years and over, males, 6,001, or 6.81 per cent. ; females, 7,740, or 
 8.01 per cent. 
 
 Various classifications, according to age, have been suggested in 
 order to show more plainly the different characteristics, or qualifica- 
 tions which exist in the population. 
 
 Among others, it has been proposed to divide the population with 
 reference to the ability, as depending upon age, to labor and to assist 
 9

 in increasing the productions of a community. This division makes 
 three classes : those under 15 years of age ; those of the age of 15 
 and under 60 ; and those of the age of 60 and over. Those under 
 15 compose the dependent class ; those from 15 to 60, the produc- 
 tive class ; and those of 60 and over, the aged class ; or the first 
 and last, combined, make the unproductive, and the other, the pro- 
 ductive class. 
 
 Applying this classification to the population of Rhode Island, in 
 1865, \ve have the following : 
 
 Under 15. 15 to 60. 60 and over. 
 
 Number. Percentage. Number. Percentage. Number. Percentage. 
 
 Males 28,953 32.80 53,289 60.39 6,001 6.31 
 
 Females 28.704 29.69 60,237 62.30 7,740 8.01 
 
 Total population. 57,657 31.18 113,526 61.39 13,741 7.43 
 
 It~seems that 61.39 in each 100 of the population of the State, are 
 in the productive class, and 38.61 in each 100 are in the unpro- 
 ductive classes. A larger proportion of the females than of the 
 males, is in the productive class, probably on account of the large 
 number of females employed in the manufacturing establishments in 
 the State. 
 
 We shall understand the figures of the census of 1865 better, and 
 see more clearly their value, by comparing them with those of other 
 dates, and with those of other States and countries. The following 
 table shows the proportions of the population at different ages in 
 several places and at several dates, as named :

 PRODUCTIVE AND UNPRODUCTIVE CLASSES. 
 
 Ixvii 
 
 An examination and study of the preceding table will be found 
 interesting, and will show great differences in the proportions of popu- 
 lation at different periods of life in different places. Lower Canada 
 far exceeds any other of the places given, in the proportion of the 
 population in the early periods of life. The small percentage under 
 5 years of age, in 1865, in Providence ; and the decreased percent- 
 age, at the same age, in Rhode Island in 1865, as compared with 
 1860, are what might be expected from the great decrease in the 
 number of births, during the war of the last five years. 
 
 Those interested in the subject will find much that is suggestive 
 and instructive in the table, which we have not space to show at this 
 time. 
 
 Recurring to the classification of the population into the productive 
 and unproductive classes, the following more extended comparisons 
 of different dates and different places, will be found interesting, and 
 .valuable.

 be noticed in the percentages in different places, all having reference 
 to some peculiarity in the population of the places named. Under 
 15 years of age, the highest percentage is 45.04, in Lower Canada ; 
 the lowest 25.00, in Lowell, in 1840. From 15 to 60, the highest is
 
 Ixviii. CENSUS OF RHODE ISLAND, 1865. 
 
 73.68, in Lowell ; the lowest, 50.58, in Lower Canada. Of the age 
 of 60 and over, the highest percentage is 10.15, in France ; the 
 lowest, 1.32, in Lowell, in 1840. The reasons for most of these 
 differences will be readily understood. 
 
 AGE AND PARENTAGE. 
 
 The foregoing illustrations show sufficiently the differences which 
 exist, in respect to age, between the population of Rhode Island and 
 some other States. Another interesting comparison on this subject 
 would be to show the differences which exist at the same date, between 
 different classes of the population of the State. AVe have already 
 shown this in relation to the sexes in Rhode Island. 
 
 Table XXIL, on page 38, shows the population of the City of 
 Providence, according to age and parentage, in 1865. We see from 
 that table that, in all the periods of life, under 10 years, in Provi- 
 dence, the population of foreign parentage exceeds that of American 
 parentage, while at all periods above that, the population of American 
 parentage is the most numerous. 
 
 Looking at the division into productive and unproductive classes, 
 we find the population according to parentage, in Providence, in 
 1865, to be as follows : 
 
 Under 15. 15 to GO. 60 and over. 
 
 Parentage. Number. Per Cent. Number. Per Cent. Number. Per Cent 
 
 American 7,693 25.06 20,696 67.41 2,313 7,53 
 
 Foreign 8,573 35.88 14,458 60.51 862 3.61 
 
 This shows a large actual and proportional excess of persons of 
 American parentage, in the productive and aged classes, in Provi- 
 dence ; and a large excess of persons of foreign parentage, in the 
 dependent class, under 15 years. Other interesting results \uill be 
 found, in relation, to this subject, by an exami nation of the figures in 
 this, and the preceding tables. 
 
 AGED PERSONS IN RHODE ISLAND. 
 
 In connection with the subject of age, I have thought it might be 
 interesting to publish the following list of all the persons of 90 years 
 of age and over, in Rhode Island, reported in the census as living on 
 the first of June, 1865 :

 OF RHODE ISLAND, 1885. 
 
 EDUCATION'. 
 
 The twenty-third table, on page S9^ sbws the number of children 
 ft eaek town in Rhode Island, between the ages of 5 and 15 : and 
 the number of all ages, reported by the census, as having attended 
 school, more or less, during the year ending June 1. 18G5. It also 
 shows the number attending the three classes of schools, public, 
 select, and catholic. 
 
 In the whole State, the number of children bet-ween 5 and 15 
 Tears of age, was -5 X 788 :he number who had attendt 
 during the year, was ->o.774. showing that there was 5.014 children 
 in the State who had not attended school clurin^ the vear. This is 
 
 
 
 12.9 per cent, of the whole number of children between 5 and 15 
 years of age-. .But as the number reported as Itaving attended 
 school, included some who were under .or over 15, the num- 
 
 ber absent from school between these ages, must have been consider- 
 ably greater than 5,014. It is probable that at least one in seven of 
 aD the children in the State, between 5 and 15 years of age, did not 
 attend any school during the year. 
 
 It will be noticed that there are very great differences in the 
 several towns, in the proportions of children who did not attend 
 school, and that the greatest percentage of absentees is in those towns 
 which have the largest foreign population, by parentage. 
 
 We have already seen that in three towns, Cumberland. North 
 Providence, and Pawtucket, the population of foreign parentage 
 exceeds that of American parentage ; and in three other tovrns, 
 Burrillville, Cranston and Smithfield, the foreign population, by 
 parentage, nearly equals the American. 
 
 The proportion of children, in these town?, who did not attend 
 any school during the year, is much larger than in other towns in the 
 State, and is as follows : 
 
 Absent from *dbZ, Cumberland, 17.1 per cent. ; North Providence 
 28.1 per cent. : Pawtucket, 18 per cent. ; Burrillville, 26.8 percent. ; 
 Cranston, 15.8 per cent. ; Smithfield, 20.5 per cent- 
 It is a startling fact, and one which demands the earnest and 
 
 O 
 
 immediate attention of our legislators, and of everv citizen, that so 
 large a proportion of the children is growing up m ignorance. It 
 is rf special importance to the citizens of those towns like North 
 Providence, and Burrillville, where more than one-fourth of all the 
 children, between 5 and 15 years of age, did not attend any school 
 during a whole year.

 CENSUS OF RHODE ISLAND, 1865. 
 
 Recurring to the table on page 39, it will be noticed that in nine 
 towns, Harrington, Little Compton, Middletown, Newport, New 
 Shoreham, East Providence, Foster, Charlestown, and Exeter, the 
 number who had attended school during the year, is greater than 
 the whole population between the ages of 5 and 15 years. In some 
 other towns, the number of absentees from school is very small. 
 
 With the exception of Newport, these are all towns , in which 
 there are very few children of foreign parentage, and it will be found, 
 m all cases, that there is a direct relation between the number of 
 absentees from school, and the number of children of foreign 
 parentage. 
 
 The exception in Newport is apparent, not real. In that city, the 
 pupils of the United States Naval Academy, located there at that 
 time, were included among the persons attending select schools, in the 
 fourth ward. If we deduct* these from the number reported as 
 attending school, it leaves a considerable percentage of absentees from 
 school in that city. In the fifth ward, where the largest percentage 
 of foreign population resides, more than 16 per cent, of the children, 
 between 5 and 15 years of age, did not attend school during the year. 
 The particulars relating to this subject, for the cities of Providence 
 and Newport, by wards, are given in table XXIV", on page 40. 
 
 It is certain that the subject is of the utmost importance in its con- 
 nection with the future interests of the State, and the statistics 
 obtained by the census furnish the data for a better understanding 
 of it. 
 
 IGNORANCE. 
 
 The preceding pages have shown something of what is done, and 
 what is left undone, with/eference to the education of the rising gen- 
 eration. The facts they have given relate to the population under 
 the age of 15 years. In our busy community, the chances are that 
 unless an education, or at least the rudiments of an education, are 
 obtained before the age of 15 years, they will be neglected for life. 
 The few who commence the rudiments of an education, after that age, 
 must be considered only as exceptions to the general rule. 
 
 It becomes, then, a matter of great interest and importance to the 
 State, to know how many of its population, of the age of 15 years 
 and over, have totally neglected or failed to obtain the first rudiments 
 of an education : how many can neither read nor write, and how 
 many can read but cannot write.
 
 IGNORANCE. IxXV 
 
 The facts upon this subject, as obtained by the census of 1865, for 
 each town in Rhode Island, will be found in table XXVI, on pages 
 42 and 43 ; and for each ward in Providence and Newport, on page 44. 
 
 It seems from the table that there are 10,181 persons in the State, 
 of the age of 15 years or over, who can neither read nor write, 
 and 4,582 more, who can read but cannot write. 
 
 If we refer to the table of ages of the population, we find the 
 number of persons living in the State, of the age of 15 years^ and 
 over, to be 127,308. It appears, therefore, that of all the persons in 
 the State, of these ages, one in 12.5 can neither read nor write ; and 
 after deducting those who can neither read nor write, one in 25.5 of 
 the remainder can only read, but cannot write. 
 
 If we add the two classes- together, we find there are 14,763 per- 
 sons in the State, who cannot write. This is one in 8.6 of the whole 
 number of persons in the State, of the age of 15 years and over. 
 
 It is probable that some persons will be surprised toltnow that 
 more than one in nine of all the inhabitants of the State, who have 
 passed the age when the rudiments of an education are usually 
 acquired, are unable to write their names ; and that more than one in 
 thirteen can neither read nor write. 
 
 When we recollect that the probabilities are, that the greater por- 
 tion of these persons will remain in this condition of ignorance 
 through lifc^, the subject is certainly of the utmost importance in its 
 relations to the future welfare of the State, and should not only awaken 
 the deepest solicitude of our legislators and every citizen, but should 
 also arouse them to immediate and earnest exertion. 
 
 Much more may be .and should be done, than is done at the present 
 time, to educate those above 15 years' of age, and to save them from 
 a life of ignorance ; and, certainly, much greater and more efficient 
 exertions may be made to prevent truancy and absenteeism from 
 school, and thus to prevent those under 15 years of age from swelling 
 the ranks of ignorance. 
 
 It is possible that some persons may, without reflection, be inclined 
 to doubt the correctness of the figures of the census, upon this subject, 
 particularly, if they compare them with those of the United States 
 censuses of 1850 and 1860. 
 
 In 1850, the number of persons in Rhode Island, over 20 years of 
 age, who could not read and write, was given as 3,607, of whom
 
 Ixxvi CENSUS OF RHODE ISLAND, 1865. 
 
 ];248 were native, and 2,359 were foreign, by birth ; 3,340 were 
 whites,, and 267 were colored. 
 
 In 1860, the number reported by the census, who could not read 
 and write, over 20 years of age, was 6,112. Of these there were 
 1,202 natives and 4,910 foreigners, by birth ; 5,852 whites, and 260 
 colored. 
 
 This shows a large increase in the number of ignorant persons, from 
 1850 to 1860, and from 1860 to 1865, part of which, in the latter 
 period, is accounted for by including those between 15 and 20 years 
 of age. 
 
 When we recollect the natural disinclination to ask and to answer 
 questions upon this point, it must be certain to every mind, that the 
 figures obtained by the census, do not exceed the truth. On the con- 
 trary, the number given by the census, who cannot read and write, is 
 undoubtedly less than the actual number. 
 
 Recurring to the census of 1865, let us examine more particularly 
 the statistics upon this subject, and endeavor to learn more exactly 
 the sources and causes of this mass of ignorance. 
 
 The whole number of persons in the State, in 1865, who could 
 neither read nor write, was 10,181. These were divided among the 
 classes of the population, by parentage, as follows : 
 
 COULD NEITHER READ NOR WRITE. 
 
 American Parentage. 
 
 Whites ' 1,085, or 10.65 in each 100 of the whole nuniher. 
 
 Blacks ". ....'. 467, or 4.59 in each 100 of the whole number. 
 
 Total American 1,552, or 15.24 in each 100 of the whole number. 
 
 Foreign Parentage. 
 
 Irish 7,313, or 71.83 in each 100 of the whole number. 
 
 English, Scotch and Welsh 391, or 3.84 in eacli 100 of the whole number. 
 
 German . 44, or .43 "an each 100 of the whole number. 
 
 Other foreign 881, or 8.66 in each 100 of the whole number. 
 
 Total foreign 8,629, or 84.76 in each 100 of the whole number. 
 
 Whole number 10,181, or 100.00. 
 
 A glance at these figures shows at once, and unmistakably, the 
 source of this mass of ignorance, and indicates the direction in which 
 efforts should be made for its removal. Nearly 85 in each 100 of
 
 IGNORANCE. 
 
 those over 15 years of age, who cannot read and write, are of foreign 
 parentage, leaving 15 in each 100, of American parentage. 
 
 Of the whole population of the State, 63.4 in each 100. are of 
 American, and 36.6 are of foreign parentage. 
 
 The larger portion of these persons of foreign parentage, who 
 cannot read and write, is of foreign birth, and they are persons who, in 
 their childhood, did not enjoy the opportunities for education that 
 children do in this State. Of course, their ignorance is often more 
 their misfortune than their fault. 
 
 Unfortunately the ignorance of parents, in connection with the 
 open opposition of their spiritual advisers to the free schools, begets, on 
 the part of a considerable portion of our foreign population, a great 
 indifference, or even opposition, to the education of their children. 
 In this way, there is great danger that this alarming amount of igno- 
 rance in the State, will be perpetuated, and increased. 
 
 The preceding figures and remarks refer to the actual number of 
 persons, in the State, of the age of 15 years and over, who cannot 
 read and write, and show what proportion of the whole" number 
 belongs to each class of the population ; but they do not show the 
 relative proportions which belong to the several classes. In order to 
 show this exactly, it would be necessary to know how many persons, 
 of the age of 15 years and over, there are living in the State, in each 
 of the several classes of the population. 
 
 This we are unable to ,show exactly, from our tables, and here 
 again we have to regret that a table was not prepared showing the 
 ages of the population, by parentage. 
 
 We may ascertain this, approximately, by assuming that the popu- 
 lation of foreign birth is all over 15 years of age, and by deducting the 
 whole number, under 15, from the population born in the United States. 
 Of course, this is not exact; but it is probable that the errors will 
 balance each other, and that the results will be not far from the 
 truth. 
 
 The whole population of the State is 184,965. Born in the United 
 States, 145,262 ; born in foreign countries, 39,703. The whole 
 number, under 15 years of age, is 57,657. Deducting this number 
 from the population of American birth, we have, of the age of 15 
 years and over, in the State, the following numbers :
 
 Ixxviii CENSUS OF RHODE ISLAND, 1865. 
 
 Americans, 87,605 ; foreigners, 39,703 ; total, 127,308. Referring 
 to the number of persons in Rhode Island, of the age of 15 years 
 and over, who can neither read nor write, we have the following: 
 
 Number who can 
 Population 15 years and over. neither read nor write. 
 
 Americans 87,605 1,552, or one in 56.4 
 
 Irish '. 27,030 7,313, or one in 3.7 
 
 English, Scotch and Welsh 7,881 391, or one in 20.1 
 
 Germans 897 44, or one in 20.4 
 
 Other foreign 3,895 881, or one in 4.4 
 
 Total foreign 39,703 8,629, or one in 4.6 
 
 All classes 127,308 10,181, or one in 12.5 
 
 It seems .that the proportion of the American population, of the 
 age of 15 Tears and over, who can neither read nor write, is one in 
 56.4, while the proportion of the foreign population is one in 4.6. 
 
 It should be remembered that of the 1,552 persons of the age of 
 15 years'and over, of American parentage, who can neither read nor 
 write, 467, or 30.1 per cent, are colored persons, while this class 
 comprises only 3.5 per cent, of the population of American pa- 
 rentage. 
 
 According to the best estimate that we can make, in relation to the 
 number of whites, and colored, of American parentage, in the State, 
 over 15 years of age, we have the following results : 
 
 American Population Xumber who can 
 
 Parentage. 15 years and over. neither read nor write. 
 
 Whites 84,566 1,085, or one in 78.0 
 
 Colored 3,049 467, or one in 6.5 
 
 Total 87,605 ... 1,552, or one in 66.4 
 
 I have no doubt that the relative proportions of persons who can 
 neither read nor write, among the different classes of the population 
 in the State, as given above, are very nearly correct, and they con- 
 firm what we have already stated in relation to the sources of the 
 great amount of ignorance which exists in the community, and the 
 direction in which efforts are most needed for its removal and 
 prevention.

 A table is given on page 38, which shows the ages of the popula- 
 tion, by parentage, in the City of Providence, in 1865. This enables 
 us to give the exact figures upon this subject, for that city ; and as a 
 similar table of ages was given in the census of the city, in 1855, we 
 can show the. statistics for the two periods, though the different 
 division of ages, adopted in 1855, in relation to those who can neither 
 read nor write, prevents exact comparisons on the subject. The fol- 
 lowing are the statistics for the two periods :

 Total 26,765 ... 2,239, or one in 11.9 
 
 As near as we can judge from these figures, there would seem to 
 have been a slight improvement, in respect to the want of education, 
 among the foreign population of Providence, during the ten years, 
 from 1855 to 1865. 
 
 In connection with the subject of the want of education among the 
 people, K the returns of marriages furnish sorne^ interesting statistics. 
 The marriage law of Rhode Island requires the parties about to be 
 married, to sign their names to the return of the marriage. Those 
 who cannot write, sign with their mark.
 
 IxXX CENSUS OF RHODE ISLAND, 1865. 
 
 In the City of Providence, the statistics upon this subject, are col- 
 lected and published in the annual reports of the City Registrar. 
 The following are the aggregate results, in Providence, for the seven 
 years, 1859 to 1865 inclusive :

 Females of foreign birth .. 1,689 961, or one in 1.8 
 
 Total of foreign birth 3,351 1,612, or one in 2.1 
 
 About two-thirds of those persons of American birth, who signed 
 with a mark, were colored, or children, born in this country, of foreign 
 parents. 
 
 Referring to the census of 1865, it will be seen that the propor- 
 tion of persons, of the age of 15 years and over, who can neither 
 read nor write, is considerably greater in the whole State, including 
 the city, than in the City of Providence alone. 
 
 Thus, the proportion of persons of American parentage who can 
 neither read nor write, is one in 56.4, in the whole State ; and one 
 in 141.1 in the city. 
 
 The proportion of persons of foreign parentage, who can neither 
 read nor write, is one in 4.6 in the whole State ; and one in 5.5 in 
 the city. 
 
 If Ave separate the statistics for the city, from those for the State, 
 the results are as follows : 
 
 Can neither read nor write, 15 years and over. 
 
 Americans in Providence, one in 141.1 ; in rest of the State, one in 46.5 
 
 Foreign in Providence, one in 5.5; in rest of the State, one in 4.1 
 
 It is probable that the superior school accommodations in Provi- 
 dence, as compared with the more thinly populated towns, have some 
 influence in decreasing the percentage of ignorance in the city. The 
 winter evening schools, in Providence, have also met with a wonderful 
 success, and have been of incalculable utility by furnishing large 
 numbers of persons, over 15 years of age, with the rudiments of an 
 education.
 
 DEAF AND DUMB, BLIND; INSANE, ETC. Ixxxi 
 
 Tn the preceding; remarks upon this subject, we have omitted those 
 reported in the census of 1865, who could read, but could not write. 
 If these are added to the number who could neither read nor write, 
 we have the number who cannot write, and the percentage of igno- 
 rance is considerably increased. 
 
 Reviewing this subject, and considering it in connection with the 
 subject of absence from school, a few conclusions may be summed up, 
 as follows : 
 
 1. A greater proportion of the truancy and absenteeism from 
 school, is among the children of foreign parentage, and is greater in 
 the country towns, which have a large foreign population, than in the 
 City of Providence. 
 
 2. The greater portion of those in the State, who cannot read and 
 write, is among the foreign population, and, chiefly, among those born 
 in foreign countries. 
 
 3. The colored population, which includes many who have come 
 to the State from the South, furnishes, in proportion to its numbers, a 
 very large percentage of persons who can neither read nor write. 
 
 4. It is evident that the subject should arrest attention, and excite 
 immediate and efficient action in every portion of the State, and 
 especially in those towns which have a large foreign population, and 
 have not sufficient, nor easily accessible school accommodations for all 
 their population. 
 
 DEAF AND DUMB, BLIND, INSANE, ETC. 
 
 Table XXV, on page 41, shows the number in 1865, as reported 
 by the census, of deaf and dumb, blind, insane, idiotic, paupers, and 
 convicts, in each town and county in the State. 
 
 It will be noticed that more than half the insane, in the State, and 
 nearly all the convicts, are in the City of Providence, where the 
 Butler Hospital for the insane, and the State prison, are located. 
 
 The facts respecting the condition and numbers of the several 
 classes of the population, referred to in the table, are more fully 
 shown in the annual, and in special reports to the General Assembly, 
 than in the returns of the census. It is not, therefore, important to 
 dwell upon the subject in this report. 
 
 n
 
 IxXXli CENSUS OF RHODE ISLAND, 1865. 
 
 It will be sufficient to give tlie following, which shows the numbers 
 of the several classes, in the whole State, as returned by the censuses 
 of 1850, 1860, and 1865 : 
 
 In Rhode Island. 1850. 1860. 1865. 
 
 Deaf and Dumb '. 65 56 89 
 
 Blind 67 85 120 
 
 Insane 217 288 287 
 
 Idiotic 114 101 140 
 
 Paupers not stated 613 543 
 
 Convicts not stated 181 114 
 
 It is probable that there are omissions in the returns of some of 
 these classes of the population, and that the numbers should be larger 
 than given. 
 
 NATURALIZED VOTERS. 
 
 The table, on page 45, shows the number, in each town in the 
 State, of persons born in foreign countries, who have become voters, 
 under the constitution and laws of Rhode Island. 
 
 The whole number in the State, as reported by the census of 1865, 
 was 1,260. Three-fourths of the whole number were natives of 
 Ireland. More than one-third of all were in the City of Providence. 
 In four towns, Harrington, Jamestown, Charlestown, and Exeter, 
 none were reported ; and in four other towns, West Greenwich, 
 Middletown, Tiverton, and North Kingstown, there was only one each. 
 
 According to a table on page 28, the proportion of males and 
 females, among the population of foreign birth, in the City of Provi- 
 dence, was 42.6 males, and 57.4 females in each 100. If the same 
 proportion holds good throughout the State, there are "in Rhode 
 Island, 16,910 males, and 22,793 females, born in foreign countries. 
 
 Of the 16,910 males, 1,260 are voters, or one in 13.4 of the whole 
 number. As the greater portion of these males of foreign birth, are 
 more than 21 years of age, it is probably true that not more than one 
 in twelve or thirteen of the males of foreign birth, over 21 years of 
 age, are voters in Rhode Island. 
 
 These 1,260 naturalized voters are all owners of real estate, and as 
 the whole foreign population of the State, by birth, male and female, 
 is only 39,703, it seems that, at least, one in 31.5 of the whole 
 number is an owner of real estate. If we take the whole population 
 of American birth, men, women, and children, it is doubtful if the 
 owners of real estate compose a greater proportion than this.
 
 MILITARY AND NAVAL SERVICE. 
 
 MILITARY AND NAVAL SERVICE. 
 
 In taking the census of 1865, provision was made for ascertaining 
 how many of the inhabitants of each town in the State, who were 
 living, June 1, 1865, were at that time, or had been since 1860, in 
 the military or naval service of the United States ; and also, the 
 States in which they had enlisted. 
 
 The statistics obtained upon this subject, are given in tables XXX, 
 and XXXI, on pages 47 and 48. 
 
 Of course, the number reported in the whole State, bears no rela- 
 tion to the whole number of troops furnished by the State, as the 
 number furnished by the State, included many from other States. 
 
 But with reference to the inhabitants of each town and county, 
 who enlisted in the army or navy, the tables give some facts which 
 may be of interest. 
 
 The whole number of inhabitants of the State, who enlisted in the 
 army and navy, as reported by the census, was 7,521. 
 
 The number and proportion to the whole population of each county, 
 were as follows : 
 
 Bristol County population, 8,469 ; enlisted, 846, or one in 24.5 
 
 Kent " population, 15,319 ; enlisted, 639, or one in 24.0 
 
 Newport " population, 20,687 ; enlisted, 607, or one in 34.1 
 
 Providence County, Towns population, 67,427; enlisted, 2,829, or one in 23.8 
 
 Providence City population, 54,595; enlisted, 2,499, or one in 21.8 
 
 Washington County population, 18,468 ; enlisted, 601, or one in 30.7 
 
 Whole State population, 184,965 ; enlisted, 7,521, or one in 24.6 
 
 A comparison of the proportions in the several towns of the State, 
 would show much greater differences than these ; but of course, with 
 the same desire to enlist, the proportion which would do so, would 
 depend upon the proportion of males living, within the ages suitable 
 for military service. 
 
 The tables prepared from the census returns, do not show the 
 number living between the military limits, 18 to 45 ; but we may 
 ascertain, approximately, the proportions which enlisted, in different 
 parts of the State, by taking the number of males between the ages 
 of 20 and 50, as shown in table XXI. 
 
 The number of males, between the ages of 20 and 50, in each 
 county of the State,, in 1865; and the number and proportion, who
 
 CENSUS OF RHODE ISLAND, 1865. 
 
 enlisted in the army and navy during the war of the rebellion, were 
 as follows :

 601 ; one in 5.8, or 17.2 per cent. 
 
 Whole State.. : 37,474 7,521 ; one in 4.9, or 20.1 percent. 
 
 The full statistics in relation to the whole number of troops f.ur- 
 nished by the State, are shown more completely by reports presented 
 to the General Assembly, and from other sources, than by the 
 returns of the census. 
 
 It should be remembered that the number of inhabitants of the 
 State, reported by the census as having enlisted in the army and 
 navy, includes only those who were living on the first day of June, 
 1865. Those who had enlisted, and had lost their lives during the 
 war, are not included. 
 
 Table XXXI shows in what States the inhabitants of Rhode Island 
 enlisted, who served in the army and navy. Of the whole number, 
 (7,521,) who enlisted, 6,365 enlisted in Rhode Island regiments, and 
 1,156 in regiments of other States. There, were 576 in Massachu- 
 setts regiments, 231 in New York regiments, and 133 in Connecticut 
 regiments. The remainder were divided among the regiments of 21 
 different States, besides 2 in the District of Columbia, 26 in the 
 United States " Regulars," and 2 in the rebel service. 
 
 OCCUPATIONS. 
 
 The occupations of persons of the age of 15 years and over, in 
 Rhode Island, as reported by the census of 1865, are given in table 
 XXXII, pages 49 to 51 inclusive. 
 
 The following shows the number of persons reported as engaged 
 in several of the most prominent occupations, in Rhode Island, by 
 the national census of 1860, and by the State census of 1865 :

 The number of different occupations, given by the census of 1865, 
 was 348, and the number of persons whose occupation was given, was 
 65,059. 
 
 In the United States census of 1860, the number of different occu- 
 pations given, in Rhode Isjand, was 264, and the number of persons 
 whose occupation was given, was 62,886. 
 
 Tables of occupations, in censuses, are extremely unsatisfactory, on 
 account of the impossibility of obtaining uniformity in the manner of 
 reporting the occupations. For reasons given, and suggested, on page 
 52. the returns of occupations, by the census of 1865, are not given 
 with as much minuteness, as some might desire ; and, for the same rea- 
 sons, I do not consider it important to dwell upon the subject at this time.
 
 CENSUS OF RHODE ISLAND, 1865. 
 
 III. COMMENTS UPON THE TABLES, CONTINUED. 
 
 2. AGRICULTURAL STATISTICS. 
 
 The statistics of the agricultural interests, and productions of Rhode 
 Island, as returned by the census of 1865, will be found in Tables 
 XXXIII and XXXIV, on pages 54 to 64 inclusive. 
 
 These statistics were collected for the year ending June 1, 1865; 
 and the value of farms, number of cattle and some other items are 
 for that date. Some of the minor crops are given for the year 1865, 
 while the figures given for the principal products, represent the crops 
 of the year 1864. 
 
 A slight examination of the figures given in the table, will be 
 sufficient to show that the agricultural interests of Rhode Island com- 
 prise no unimportant portion of the industrial pursuits of the State. 
 An industry which has $24,389,242 invested in "farms including 
 buildings" ; 12,666,488, in "stock" ; and $717,127 in "tools and im- 
 plements" ; and which employs 10,764 "farmers," is certainly not an 
 unimportant item in a State of little more than 1,000 square miles of 
 territory, though the figures may not approach in magnitude, those of 
 the States of the West, which. are many times larger in territory. 
 
 We have already intimated the opinion that, in New England, a 
 community which depends exclusively upon general farming, cannot be 
 expected to increase in population, to any great extent. In this 
 respect, New England must yield to the more abundant lands, the 
 richer soil, and the more favorable climate of the West. 
 
 We have also said, that the growth and prosperity of Rhode Island, 
 so far at least as relates to population, has, for many years, depended 
 chiefly upon its manufacturing interests. 
 
 While this is true, it may also be said, that in Rhode Island, the 
 growth and prosperity of the agricultural interests themselves have 
 depended, chiefly, upon the growth and prosperity of the manufactur- 
 ing interests. 
 
 The results of the growth of manufactures have been that the 
 cities have been increased, numerous villages have been built up, 
 home markets for every variety of agricultural products have been 
 multiplied, and though the character of the crops, and the modes of 
 farming operations have been somewhat changed, it is probable that

 never before were agricultural pursuits so well remunerated, and of 
 so much importance in Rhode Island, as at the present time. 
 
 Let us then examine the returns of agricultural products, in Rhode 
 Island, as given by the census of 1865. We must leave to those 
 interested, the study of the returns for each town and division of the 
 State, and confine ourselves to the aggregates for the State as a whole. 
 
 In the first place it may be of interest to compare the statistics of 
 the census of 18(35, with those obtained by the previous national 
 censuses. 
 
 The following shows the aggregates of the several items, in the

 It will be seen that tho census of 1865 gives a considerable number 
 of items, some of them quite important, which were not given in the 
 national censuses. Several of the items named above, in the census 
 of 1860, were obtained through the effort's of the "Rhode Island 
 Society for the Encouragement of Domestic Industry," and are not 
 given in the report of the census by the United States Government. 
 The importance of these and of other items not obtained by the 
 national census, is shown in the report made to the General Assembly, 
 by a Committee of the Rhode Island Society. 
 
 Those who examine the preceding list of agricultural statistics will 
 find some apjiarent discrepancies, which, however, are susceptible of 
 explanation. For example, the number of horses reported in 1860, 
 was 4,012 less than in 1865. The number given for 1860, included 
 only horses on farms, while in 1865, the number was intended to 
 include all ttie horses in the State. An additional census taken in 
 1860, tinder the direction of the u Rhode Island Society for the 
 Encouragement of Domestic Industry," reported 4,938 horses in the 
 State, " not on farms." If we add these to the number reported by 
 the national census, it makes 12,059 horses in 1860, or a greater 
 number than in 1865.. 
 
 But if we look at the returns, by towns, for 1865, it is evident 
 that in some towns the horses were not all reported. Newport, 
 which probably has seven or eight hundred horses, reported only 
 60, which included only .tlie number on farms.
 
 AGRICULTURAL STATISTICS. 
 
 Other similar, apparent errors, might be named and explained ; 
 but it is not necessary. We may remark, generally, that it is well 
 known that the figures obtained by a census, in relation to these sub- 
 jects, are never exactly correct. Some persons, knowing this fact, 
 are inclined to reject the results, and disparage the value of all census 
 returns. 
 
 This would be a serious mistake. Though the items of a census 
 may not be precisely accurate, they are generally less than the truth, 
 and the results are not exaggerated. Besides, the errors are similar 
 in different censuses, and, to some extent, correct each other, so that 
 an examination of the aggregates for a State, and particularly a com- 
 parison of the returns for different years, will show that the errors 
 are unimportant, and that the general results may safely be considered 
 as reliable. 
 
 If we examine the preceding table comparing the results of three 
 censuses, we find abundant evidence that the comparative results cor- 
 respond with our general knowledge of the facts, and are therefore 
 probably true. 
 
 For example, the increase, from 1860 to 1865, in the value of 
 farms, stock, tools, &c., corresponds with our general knowledge of 
 the rise in nominal value of these items ; the increase in the A-alue of 
 the products of orchards, of market-gardens, of poultry, eggs, &c., 
 is what we would expect from the great increase in the prices of these 
 articles, and the consequent increase in production ; the increase in 
 the number of sheep, and in the amount of wool, and the decrease 
 in the number of cattle and in the amount of butter and cheese, 
 between 1860 and 1865, correspond with our general information 
 upon the subject ; and, finally, the enormous increase in the quantity 
 of tobacco raised, is just what would be expected from the circum- 
 stances in which we have been placed. 
 
 These, and many other particulars which might be named, cor- 
 roborate our general knowledge of the subject, from other sources, 
 and confirm our opinion, that the general results of the census are 
 reliable, and worthy of confidence, even though some errors may be 
 found in the particulars. 
 
 Recurring to the agricultural statistics, obtained by the census of 
 1865, let us examine the values represented in the items given. We 
 have obtained an estimate, intended to be low, in relation to the items 
 
 12

 The large sums given in the table on page 54, for the value of 
 farms in Providence and Newport, do not fairly represent their value 
 for agricultural purposes, and some deduction should be made on this 
 account, for a correct understanding of the subject. 
 
 The tables of agricultural statistics show the average yield per 
 acre, in Rhode Island, of some of the crops named. They are as 
 follows : 
 
 Hay 101,243 acres, 75.894 tons ; average, 0.75 of a ton. 
 
 Wheat 53 acres, 753 bushels ; average, 14.2 bushels. 
 
 Rye 2,634 acres, 29,161 bushels ; average, Fl.l bushels. 
 
 Corn 16,518 acres, 466,633 bushels ; average, 28.2 bushels. 
 
 Oats 6,308 acres, 175,944 bushels ; average, 27.9 bushels. 
 
 Potatoes 7,602 acres, 710,627 bushels ; average, 93.4 bushels. 
 
 In the statistics for Rhode Island, obtained by the " Society for the 
 Encouragement of Domestic Industry," in 1860, the averages 
 obtained for a few products were as follows : Corn, 27 bushels per 
 acre; rye, 15 bushels; oats, 26 bushels; hay, 1.05 tons; carrots, 
 500 bushels ; onions, 354 bushels ; barley, 22 bushels. 
 
 More attention should be given to this subject in censuses, and we 
 should be able to show the average amount per acre, of all our crops,
 
 AGRICULTURAL STATISTICS. XC1 
 
 with the cost of production, and other particulars. Though it is con- 
 trary to the common opinion, I have no doubt that the average yield 
 per acre, of some of the items which constitute the principal crops of 
 the Western States, is greater in New England than in those States ; 
 though the greater cost of production in New England, may render 
 the crops less profitable. 
 
 We have before us the report of the census taken by the State of 
 Iowa, in 1865, and from it, make the following comparisons which 
 confirm this opinion. The crops are for the same year, and the 
 average products per arre in the two States, are as follows : 
 
 Rhode Island. Iowa. 
 
 Hay, per acre 0.75 of a ton 0.84 of a ton. 
 
 Wheat, Spring, ( ,, 2 , , , ? 8.6 bushels. 
 
 Wheat, Winter, > ' 14 els ' { 9.5 bushels. 
 
 Eye 11.1 bushels 13.5 bushels. 
 
 Corn 28.2 bushels 28.0 bushels. 
 
 Oats ' 27.9 bushels 27.5 bushels. 
 
 Potatoes 93.4 bushels 67.9 'bushels. 
 
 The average of wool was the same in both States, 2.8 pounds to 
 each sheep. 
 
 It is probable that' the average yield of some of these crops is less 
 in Rhode Island than in the other New England States. 
 
 In the report of the census of Iowa, the average yield per acre is 
 given by counties, and varies greatly in different portions of the State. 
 The extremes reported in the several counties, are as follows : 
 
 Spring wheat from 2.90 lowest, to 23.24 highest, bushels, per acre. 
 
 Winter wheat from 4.91 lowest, to 34.77 highest, bushels, per acre. 
 
 Oats from 1.73 lowest, to 41.70 highest, bushels, per acre. 
 
 Corn from 3.51 lowest, to 52.22 highest, bushels, per acre. 
 
 Rye from 3.37 lowest, to 21 .45 highest, bushels, per acre. 
 
 Potatoes from 16. 10 lowest, to 153.92 highest, bushels, per acre. 
 
 The tables of agricultural statistics of the census of Rhode Island in 
 1865, contain many items which it would be interesting to exam ne, 
 and the examination of which would be of utility to the interests of 
 agriculture in the State. 
 
 But the full investigation of the subject would require too much 
 space for this report ; and, besides, it would better be done by those 
 whose familiarity with 'the subject renders them better qualified to do 
 it justice. We commend the study of the tables to those persons.
 
 XC11 CENSUS OF RHODE ISLAND, 1865. 
 
 III. COMMENTS UPON THE TABLES. CONTINUED. 
 
 ,3. FISHERIES, AND SHORE STATISTICS. 
 
 The products of the fisheries, and the shore statistics of Rhode 
 Island, as reported by the census of 1865, will be found in Table 
 XXXV, pages 65 to 70 inclusive. 
 
 These statistics are a novelty in census returns in this country. 
 Though of great importance in some States, no account of them has 
 been obtained by the national censuses. Their importance in Rhode 
 Island induced the " Rhode Island Society for the Encouragement of 
 Domestic Industry" to make an attempt, in 1860, to obtain some of 
 the 'statistics relating to them. 
 
 The results obtained at that time were presented to the General 
 Assembly, in a report from the Society which was published in 1861. 
 
 The following extracts from this report show the importance of 
 these statistics in Rhode Island, and the success of the Society in its 
 attempt to obtain them : 
 
 u While the continental shore line of Rhode Island is only 45 miles, 
 it has 320 miles of shore washed by the ebbing and flowing tides. 
 Five out of the thirty-two towns that compose the State, are situated 
 on islands. The bays embraced within the State abound with fish, 
 many kinds of which are fitted for food, while others are only used 
 for the manufacture of fish oil, and for manures. The shores and 
 shoals of these bays and of the extensive salt ponds near the southern 
 coast, abound with shell-fish. Besides this, every ebbing tide leaves, 
 on almost every portion of these shores, a rich and valuable deposit 
 of sea-weed and drift." 
 
 " The annual value of the product of these salt ivaters, has never 
 been ascertained. The committee deemed it 'worth an attempt to 
 procure it. These products are of great value and importance. 
 They are secured at an outlay of time and labor, very small compared 
 with their value. Many families derive a large part of their support 
 from them. The amount of fish exported for food is very large, while 
 other varieties are exported in larger quantities for manure, or to be 
 manufactured into special manures, which are returned to the State, 
 under long and learned names, as special fertilizers." 
 
 u To ascertain the value and amount of the various products of 
 these salt waters, the committee instituted inquiries." 
 " They regret to report that the returns made are not so full, nor as 
 they believe, so accurate as they desired. Some of the assistant mar- 
 shals construed the queries to extend only to the quantities taken and
 
 FISHERIES, AND SHORE STATISTICS. XC111 
 
 sold. Others have almost entirely omitted all returns on the sub- 
 ject." " The committee, however, are "satisfied that 
 they have commenced the inquiry. They did not expect full and 
 accurate returns, but they have obtained enough to show the great 
 importance of the inquiry, and thereby to secure future attention 
 to it." 
 
 The plan and purpose of the committee, in 1860, were adopted 
 with some modifications and additions, in the census of 1865. The 
 results obtained in the latter year, seem to be much more full than in 
 1860, though evidently incomplete in some particulars. These 
 statistics must, from the nature of the case, depend to some extent, 
 upon estimates. For example, the clams on the shores are free to all 
 the inhabitants of the State who choose to dig them. Persons come 
 to the shores from all quarters, and often from distances of several 
 miles, and dig as many clams as they choose, to eat or to carry home. 
 Nothing is exactly known of the quantities thus removed. The only 
 estimates which could be made, were from the opinions of the owners 
 of shore farms. Much care and caution were used in obtaining the 
 estimates, and it was the general opinion of the marshals that the 
 quantities stated were less than the truth. 
 
 Difficulties, somewhat similar in extent ; but of a different charac- 
 ter, were met with in relation to some other statistics upon this 
 subject. 
 
 We can only say, that the attempt to obtain correct information 
 was faithfully made, and that the results do not exceed the truth ; 
 but are, probably, considerably less. 
 
 The following shows the statistics of fisheries, and other items, in 
 Rhode Island, as obtained by the census of 1865, and compared with 
 those obtained by the Rhode Island Society, in 1860 :

 The statistics obtained in 1865, though imperfect, are sufficient to 
 show that the fisheries and shore products in Rhode Island are of 
 considerable importance to the State, and deserve the attention and 
 care of our legislators. 
 
 At the present time the fish which abound in the waters of the 
 State, are taken without restriction, by every means that the inven- 
 tion of man, stimulated by avarice, can devise. This is done without 
 reference to season or to the natural habits of the fish, so that there 
 is supposed to be great danger that some varieties of fish, which have 
 heretofore been abundant, will soon be exterminated, or banished 
 from the waters of the State. 
 
 Whether this danger exists or not, to the extent that is feared, with 
 reference to the fish in the salt waters of the State, it is certain that 
 the same result has been accomplished in relation to several kinds of 
 fresh-water fish. Some of the most valuable varieties of fish which 
 formerly abounded in the fresh-water rivers and ponds in Rhode 
 Island, are now unknown in them. 
 
 Within a few years past, much attention has been given to the 
 subject of the propagation of fish, in some of the States of New 
 England, as well as in other countries, and it seems to be established 
 that their propagation is easy; and that salmon and shad may be 
 easily restored to our rivers, if a free passage be provided for them, 
 to and from the ocean. 
 
 It is also shown that many other kinds of valuable fish may be 
 multiplied without limit, if attention is given to their natural habits, 
 and if they are protected until they have time to grow. 
 
 There is no State which should have a greater interest in this 
 subject than Rhode Island. In addition to our bays and arms of the 
 ocean, AVC have numerous small rivers ; every portion of the State is 
 dotted with fresh-water ponds of all sizes, and our Southern coast is 
 lined with extensive salt-water ponds. 
 
 These features of the State furnish natural and favorable resorts for 
 every species of shell and other fish that can exist on this coast.
 
 ^MANUFACTURES. XCV 
 
 They are all capable of indefinite multiplication, and the expense of 
 propagation arid of gathering the products is much less, in proportion 
 to the results, than in other branches of industry. 
 
 It is probable that with intelligent, scientific culture, and with a 
 comparatively slight expense, the products of the shell and other 
 fisheries in Rhode Island, might, in a few years, be made to rival in 
 importance those of agriculture. The subject is certainly worthy the 
 attention of our legislators. 
 
 III. COMMENTS UPON THE TABLES. CONTINUED. 
 
 4. MANUFACTURES. 
 
 The statistics of the manufactures of Rhode Island, for the year 
 ending June 1, 1865, as obtained by the census, will be Found on 
 pages 72 to 98 inclusive ; and a table, on page 97, shows the number 
 and other particulars of the manufactures reported in each town of 
 
 the State. 
 
 
 
 For reasons given on page 72,1 am not able to present the statistics 
 of manufactures with as much minuteness, or in as interesting form 
 as might be desired. Instead of giving the particulars of each manu- 
 facture, in each town or county, I am obliged to confine the items 
 to the aggregates for the State, and, in some cases, to combine several 
 kinds of manufactures together. 
 
 The results will be found, however, to be highly interesting, and 
 the total value of the products largely exceeds that of any previous 
 census. 
 
 It is probable that the manufactures of the State were more fully 
 and more correctly reported, by the census of 1865, than by that of 
 1860. The promises that were made in 1865, that nothing should be 
 published which would show the private business of any individual, 
 probably resulted in obtaining more correct information, than was 
 obtained by the census of 1860. 
 
 While, then, we regret that we cannot show many particulars 
 which would be highly interesting, we feel confident that the resources 
 and productive wealth of the State, in connection with manufactures, 
 are more fully, and more correctly shown by the census of 1865, 
 than ever before.
 
 XCV1 CENSUS OF RHODE ISLAND, 1865. 
 
 The full discussion of the topics suggested by the statistics of 
 manufactures given, would properly require a volume instead of the 
 few pages we can give it. We must leave the study of the facts, 
 and their application to the numerous interests involved, to those 
 whose familiarity with the subject renders them better qualified to do 
 it justice. It will be my object, solely, to present the statistics of 
 manufactures, as obtained by the census of 18G5, as fully and clearly 
 as possible, so that others may be able to make the use of them which 
 their importance deserves. 
 
 The total value of the products of manufactures, for the year 
 ending June 1, 1865, was -$103,106,395, which was equal to $557 
 for every man, woman, and child in the State. 
 
 The capital invested in manufactures, was $32,646,603, equal to 
 $176 for each inhabitant. 
 
 The following shows the general results, by the censuses of 1860, 
 and 1865, and the increase between the two dates. It should be 
 remembered that the figures, at each date, are for a single year : 
 
 TJ. S. Census, State Census, 
 
 1860. 1865. Increase. 
 
 Number of Manufacturers .-. 1,191 .... 1,459 268 
 
 Capital stock invested $24,278,295 .... $32,646,603 . . . 8,368,308 
 
 Value of raw materials, used 19,858,515. . . . $63,861,552. . . .44,003,037 
 
 Value of products for the year 40,711,298. . . .$103,106,395. . . .$62,395,097 
 
 Hands employed 32,490.... 36,993... 4,503 
 
 The enormous increase in the value of raw materials used, and in 
 the total value of the annual products, since 1860, is partly owing to 
 the increase in the quantity of some items ; but more to the great 
 advance in prices, since that date. 
 
 Before making further comparisons in relation to the statistics of 
 the two censuses, let us present in a more condensed, tabular form, 
 some of the statistics of manufactures, obtained bv the census of 
 1865. 
 
 The following table shows the kinds of manufactures reported, the 
 number of establishments, the capital stock invested, the value of raw 
 materials used, the total value of the products, and the number of 
 hands employed, (male and female,) in the whole State, for the year 
 ending June 1, 1865 :

 The preceding list includes all the manufactures reported in the 
 State, in 1865. It would be interesting to compare all the items with 
 those of the national census of 1860 ; but the different arrangements 
 ami combinations, made in the two censuses, render it difficult to do 
 so, and it is not, perhaps, necessary for the objects of this report. 
 It will be sufficient to make a comparison of three of the most 
 important of the manufacturing interests of the State. 
 
 An examination of the table shows that of the $ 32,646,603 invested 
 in manufactures, in 1865, in Rhode Island, the sum of $ 26,132,865 
 was invested in manufactures of cotton, wool, and iron. Let 
 us compare the statistics of the two censuses, in relation to these 
 manufactures. 
 
 COTTON MANUFACTURES. 
 
 In the statistics of cotton manufactures, by the census of 1865, as 
 given on page xcvii, 'we have included the following : cotton cloth ; 
 cotton yarn, twine, thread, &c. ; cotton wicking ; calico printing ; 
 bleaching and dyeing ; shoe and corset lacings ; and wadding and 
 batting.
 
 C CENSUS OF RHODE ISLAND, 1865. 
 
 In the census of 1860, the combinations are different, and we only 
 find the following items named, of cotton manufactures : calico print- 
 ing ; cotton goods ; cotton batting ; cotton yarns, &c. ; bleaching and 
 dyeing. 
 
 The statistics of the two periods are as follows :

 Cotton thread, spools, dozen 1,565,000 
 
 Yarn and thread, pounds 5,072,114 
 
 The particulars for the several branches, included in the cotton 
 manufactures in 1865, are given on page xcvii. 
 
 The great increase in the cost of raw materials, and in the total 
 value of products, between 1860 and 1865, is evidently owing to the 
 enormous increase of prices between the two periods. The quantity 
 of cotton, used, and the amount of cloth made, were much less in 
 1865 than in 1860. 
 
 The comparison of the statistics of cotton manufactures, at the two 
 periods named, suggests many topics which are of importance to those 
 interested in these manufactures. 
 
 Th? want of time and space, and, more than this, the want of suffi- 
 cient acquaintance with the subject, render it advisable to leave the 
 discussion to those more capable of doing it justice. 
 
 
 
 WOOLEN MANUFACTURES. 
 
 In the statement given in relation to the manufactures of Rhode 
 Island, as reported by the census of 1865, the following branches are 
 included under tjie head of woolen manufactures, viz. : satinets, flan- 
 nels, &c. ; shoddy; wool carding; woolen goods; woolen yarn; 
 worsted braid and lacings.

 Selecting, so far as possible, the same branches from the returns of 
 the census of 1860, we have the following comparative statistics:

 IRON MANUFACTURES. 
 
 In the statement on page xcviii, we have included the following in 
 the iron manufactures of Rhode Island, as returned by the census of 
 1865, viz. : blacksmithing ; edge tools ; files ; fire arms ; horse shoes ; 
 nails, cables, &c. ; iron castings; jewelers' tools; machinery ; steam 
 engines, &c. ; spiral springs, hardware, &c., and wood screws. 
 
 We have collected the same items, so far as possible, from the 
 returns of the census of 1860, and find the following comparative 
 results, for the two periods : 
 
 IRON MANUFACTURES, RHODE ISLAND. 
 
 1860. 1865.

 Annual value of products $4,089,115 $9,650,562 
 
 Hands employed 3,942 6,263 
 
 These comparisons s'how that, in cotton manufactures, there was an 
 enormous increase between 1860 and 1865, in the annual value of 
 raw materials used, and in the annual value of the products, though
 
 Cll 
 
 CENSUS OF RHODE ISLAND, 1805. 
 
 there was a large decrease in the quantity of botli ; but in the woolen 
 and iron manufactures, there was a great increase both in the quantity 
 and in the value of the raw materials used, and of the products.

 The United States census of 1860 does not show the statistics of 
 manufactures, for the City of Providence, separately from the rest 
 of the county. The particulars for each town and city, by the 
 census of 1865, are given on page 97, of the tabular portion of this 
 volume. 
 
 PRODUCTS OF MANUFACTURES. 
 
 The following list comprises the greater portion of the products of 
 all kinds of manufactures in Rhode Island, as reported by the census 
 of 1865, for the year ending on the first of June of that year : 
 
 It would be interesting to compare the figures given for each item, 
 with those of the census of 1860 ; but I am able to find only a small 
 portion of the items in the report of the census of that year, and 
 cannot, therefore, make a full comparison.

 The preceding list is, by no means complete, for all the articles 
 manufactured in the State. In some establishments, a great variety of 
 articles is made, and while it is comparatively easy to obtain the total 
 value of the products, it is difficult, and sometimes impossible, to 
 obtain the exact number or quantity of all the different articles 
 manufactured. 
 
 The same remarks are true, and to a still greater extent, in relation 
 to the articles used in the various manufactures. Almost every 
 important substance known, in the 'animal, vegetable, and mineral 
 kingdoms, is used in the manufactures of the State, and of some of 
 them, the quantities required are very great. 
 
 The manufacture of a single product, in some cases, requires the 
 use of some scores of different kinds of substances, drugs, chemicals, 
 dyes, &c. In taking the census, it was found impracticable to obtain 
 these items in full, and though the amount was given in the returns 
 in many cases, it is probable that the quantities of only a few of the 
 most important substances, are fully stated, for all the manufactures.
 
 MANUFACTURES. CV 
 
 From the returns, we select only a few of the substances used in 
 the manufactures of the State, during the year ending June 3, 1865, 
 as follows : 
 
 Cotton, pounds 30,434,989 Tin, pounds 164.000 
 
 Wool, pounds 13,343,228 Tobacco, pounds 189,595 
 
 Coal, tons 42,566 Tallow, pounds 752,500 
 
 Iron, tons 41,498 Potash, pounds 81,600 
 
 Steel, pounds 634,617 Resin, pounds 117,500 
 
 Brass, pounds 257,000 Hair, pounds 34,834 
 
 Copper, pounds 66.097 Pearl sliell, pounds 12,000 
 
 Lead, pounds 1,212,002 Leather, pounds 163,540 
 
 Perhaps a better idea of the quantities of some of these substances 
 used in manufactures, may be obtained from the daily consumption. 
 Estimating the working days of the year at three hundred, the 
 quantities used, daily, in the manufactures 'of the State, were as fol- 
 lows, for the year ending June 1, 1865:

 Let us apply the same illustration to the products of the manufac- 
 tures. We have already given the annual quantities of most of the 
 products of manufactures. The following shows the quantities pro- 
 duced daily, of a few of the articles manufactured in Rhode Island, 
 during the year ending June 1, 1865 :

 If we call the working day*, ten hour* coeh, the production of 
 notion cloth in the State, was equal to 583 ytrdtperminuU; of calico, 
 632 yard* per minute ; of woolen cloth*, 81 yards |K?r mtoute ; and 
 of wood serewa, 2,022 per minute, during all the working hour* of 
 the year. 
 
 The total production for the year, amounted to 67,893 milen of 
 cotton and woolen doth* ; and f>4,44Q miles of calicoe*. The aggre- 
 gate of rotton and woolen cloths and calicoes, produced during the 
 year, was sufficient for a web of cloth nearly five tirm's around the 
 globe ; or 1)41 times around the State of Rhode Inland ; or equal to 
 1,104 yards for every man, woman, and child in the State. It was 
 equal to 01I..O square miles of cloth, or nearly sufficient to cover the 
 whole surface of a town 10 miles long and 7 miles wide. 
 
 These illustrations will give to some persons a clearer idea of the 
 magnitude of the manufacturing interests of the State, than the simple 
 statement of the quantities of the articles made. 
 
 It should IM- remembered that, during the year ending June 1, 
 1805, the amount of products of some of the most important branches 
 of manufacture, was much less than it was five years previous. This 
 was especially true in relation to manufactures of cotton. The high 
 prices and difficulty of obtaining cotton during the war, caused the 
 suspension of some of the mills, and. reduced largely the quantity of 
 the products. Some other branches of manufacture were also much 
 depressed, at the time the census was taken, in the summer of 1865. 
 
 SPINHLES AND LOOMS. 
 
 The number of spindles, looms, &c., reported in use in the manu- 
 factures of Rhode Island, June 1, 1805, was as follows : 
 
 In cotton manufactures ...................... . .'. . .839,695 spindles, and 16,548 looms. 
 
 In woolen manufactures ......... 8,866 spindles, 2,756 looms, and 381 sets of machinery. 
 
 In tlic manufacture of hair cloth ........................................ 585 looms. 
 
 In the manufacture of braid, lacinys, &c ............................... 1,180 braiders. 
 
 POWER USED IN MANUFACTURES. 
 
 The number of steam engines used in the manufactures of Rhode 
 Island, as reported by the census of 1865, was 263, with 726 boilers, 
 and with a total horse power of 16,092. In addition to this, 3 caloric 
 engines with 11 horse power, were reported in Providence. %
 
 MANUFACTURES. 
 
 It is well known that the statement of the horse power of steam 
 engines is very indefinite, and that the power of any engine may be 
 increased or diminished, within wide limits. It is probable that the 
 amount of horse power, as given for the steam engines in the follow- 
 ing table might be greatly increased, and would be whenever occasion 
 required. 
 
 Only nine windmills were reported : one in Bristol, one in James- 
 town, 2 in Little Compton, and 5 in Portsmouth. It is well known 
 that there are more than this in the State. 
 
 In 258 manufacturing establishments in the State, water power was 
 used ; in 24, horse power was used ; in 828, manual labor was the 
 power used ; and 104 used hired steam power. Of the number using 
 hired steam power, 103 were in Providence, and 1 in Cumberland. 
 
 The table on the next page shows the number of steam engines, 
 the horse power of the engines, the number of steam boilers, the 
 number of establishments using water power, the number using horse 
 power, and the number carried on by manual labor, in each town in 
 Rhode Island, as reported by the census, June 1, ] 865.

 MANUFACTURES. C1X 
 
 This completes our statement of the statistics relating to the manu- 
 factures of the State of Rhode Island, for the year ending June 1, 
 1865. We regret that the statement could hot be made more com- 
 plete ; that we could not present more particulars of the numerous 
 manufactures of the State ; and that \ve could not show a multitude 
 of facts relating to the improvements in machinery, and the history 
 of the various manufactures, which would tend to render the statistics 
 more interesting. A full exhibition of the manufactures of the 
 State, in all their relations, would show that there is hardly a subject, 
 financial, moral, scientific, sanitary, or political, with which they are 
 not intimately connected ; that there is hardly any matter relating to 
 the prosperity and welfare of the State, that is not intimately con- 
 nected with, and affected by the manufactures within its limits. 
 
 It is probable that this would be admitted as a general truth, in 
 relation to every civilized State and community ; but we cannot avoid 
 the conviction that the statistics of manufactures, as given, by the 
 census of 1865, demonstrate that it is especially true in Rhode Island, 
 and of especial importance to the Avelfare of the State. 
 
 The strictly manufacturing interests of Rhode Island, are probably 
 greater, in proportion to its population, than those of any other State 
 in the Union ; and the influence of these interests upon the character 
 of the population, and upon its moral and sanitary condition, is proba- 
 bly greater, and more distinctly felt here, than in any other State. 
 
 It is important then, that the statistics of the manufacturing 
 interests, and their influence upon the community, should be thor- 
 oughly studied, and understood by our legislators, and by every citizen 
 who has any regard for the best welfare of the community and of the 
 State. 
 
 The interests of the manufacturer, and of the State are, in most 
 cases, identical in long periods of time, though there may be tempo- 
 rary circumstances which may seem to render them antagonistic. 
 There may be, for example, a temporary necessity for our manufac- 
 turers to bring into the State large numbers of persons who are very 
 ignorant, and entirely different in their all social characteristics, from 
 our native population. But intelligent, skillful labor, which can only 
 be obtained in an educated population, would be far more valuable 
 to the manufacturers, and their interests are identical with those of 
 the State, that this population should be made intelligent, skillful, 
 and educated, as speedily as possible.
 
 CX CENSUS OF RHODE ISLAND, 1865. 
 
 There may be a temporary necessity, (though very rarely,) for 
 our manufacturers to neglect proper sanitary precautions in the con- 
 struction of tenements, and in the location and arrangement of their 
 villages. But, in time, disease is sure to find it out, and to show the 
 manufacturers that their interests are identical with those of the 
 State, that the laws of sanitary science should he obeyed, and that the 
 health of the population should be protected. 
 
 Similar illustrations might be given in relation to other interests of 
 the State, which are identical with those of the manufacturers ; but 
 it is not necessary. It is not my purpose to discuss these questions 
 only so far as to show the importance of statistics, upon which all 
 intelligent discussion of them, and all correct decisions in relation to 
 them, must depend. 
 
 It is important, for a complete understanding of these subjects, that 
 full statistics of manufactures should be collected ; that they should 
 be collected frequently ; and that they should be obtained correctly. 
 This has never been done under any census in this country. Those 
 who have had experience in taking a census, know well that no por- 
 tion of it is so unsatisfactory ; none in which there is so great a 
 liability to errors, as in that relating to manufactures. 
 
 The infinite variety of products ; the temptation to misrepresent 
 the facts, either to conceal profits, or to conceal losses ; the want of 
 accurate knowledge from the lack of accurate accounts ; the liability 
 to errors where the facts depend upon memory, though the intentions 
 may be honest ; these, and many other reasons, cannot but impair 
 our confidence in the details of our statistics of manufactures, though, 
 as we have already shown elsewhere, the general results, and the 
 comparison of the census of one date with that of another, may be 
 of very great value. 
 
 There are three most urgent needs, in relation to the collection of 
 statistics in this country: 
 
 1. A more perfect arrangement, and classification of the facts to 
 be obtained ; particularly those relating to manufactures. 
 
 2. An entirely different, and better system of obtaining the facts. 
 
 3. The education of the people to the habit of giving the infor- 
 mation, and to an appreciation of its value. 
 
 These objects may be attained, to a great extent, by the national 
 government, by making the census department a permanent organiza-
 
 CONCLUSION. CXI 
 
 tion, so that the experience of one census may be made available for 
 the next. So far as relates to manufactures, however, these objects 
 would be much better attained by State statistical bureaus, which could 
 collect the statistics much more frequently, and could better adapt 
 their plans and machinery to the special institutions, wants, and 
 peculiarities of each State. 
 
 CONCLUSION, RECAPITULATORY. 
 
 The total population of Rhode Island, by the census of 1*865, was 
 184,965. The total value of the products of the State, for the year 
 ending June 1, 1865, was as follows : 
 
 Products of agriculture $7,590,079 
 
 Products of fisheries 422,412 
 
 Products of manufactures 103,106,395 
 
 Total value of products 111,118,886 
 
 This shows an annual production of 601 dollars for each man, 
 woman, and child in the State. 
 
 In Massachusetts, the State census for th'e same year, shows a popu- 
 lation of 1,267,239, and the value of all the products foivthe year, 
 was $517,240,613, equal to 408 dollars for each inhabitant. In the 
 Massachusetts report there are large sums for whale, cod, and 
 mackerel fisheries, coastwise freights, and other items, which are not 
 found in the productions as reported in Rhode Island.

 52 OCCUPATIONS. 
 
 REMARKS ON THE TABLE OF OCCUPATIONS. 
 
 The number of persons whose occupations are given in the preceding table is, 
 65,059. In the United States Census of I860, the number was 62,886. 
 In the present census, housekeepers, including women employed in household 
 duties at home, have not been included in the tables. 
 
 The. number whose occupation is given, includes a large percentage of the 
 population. We may class the whole population as follows : 
 
 Number, occupations given .' 65,059 
 
 Housekeepers, one to each family 39,208 
 
 Persons under 15 years of age 57,657 
 
 Persons of 70 years and over 5,091 
 
 Deaf and dumb, blind, insane, &c 1 ,293 
 
 Total 168,308 
 
 This leaves 16,657 persons in the whole population, not accounted for. The 
 most of these are females, living at home, and persons who are incapacitated for 
 labor. 
 
 The table of occupations is the most unsatisfactory of any in the census. It 
 is impossible to obtain any uniformity in the manner of stating the occupations 
 in different towns. In the instructions to the Enumerators, particular directions 
 were given to specify, in connection with Operatives, the kind of work in which 
 they were employed ; but we find in the returns, 2,950 operatives without any 
 specification. 
 
 Under other general terms, such as Merchants, Laborers, Mechanics, &c., 
 many persons are included who should have been more particularly designated. 
 
 For these reasons, and many others, which injure the value of the table, and 
 which will suggest themselves to those who examine it, I have not thought it 
 worth while to give the table of occupations by towns ; but have included the 
 returns for the whole State in one table, with the occupations arranged in 
 alphabetical order.

 interest to warrant their publication, and they are given as reported.

 70 FISHERIES AND SHORE STATISTICS. 
 
 An attempt was made, by the " Rhode Island Society for the 
 Encouragement of Domestic Industry" to obtain the statistics of the 
 Fisheries of the State in connection with the United States Census 
 of 1860. Though incomplete, as was expected, sufficient was obtained 
 to show that the fisheries furnish no inconsiderable portion of the 
 resources of the State. In connection with the census of 1865, 
 another attempt was made to obtain these statistics, the result of 
 which is given in the preceding pages. The amounts are much 
 greater than those obtained by the census of 1860 ; but are still less 
 than the truth. 
 
 In the report presented to the General Assembly, (January Ses- 
 sion, 1861,) it is said: 
 
 "While the continental shore line of Rhode Island is only 45 miles, 
 it has 320 miles of shore waslied by the ebbing and flowing tides. 
 Five out of the thirty-two (now thirty-three,) towns that compose 
 .the State, are situated on islands. The bays embraced within the 
 State abound with fish, many kinds of which are fitted for food, while 
 others are only used for the manufacture, of fish oil and for manures. 
 The shores and shoals of these bays and of the extensive salt ponds 
 near the southern coast, abound with shell-fish. Besides this, every 
 ebbing tide leaves, on almost every portion of these shores, a rich 
 and valuable deposit of sea-weed and drift." 
 
 The importance of these statistics is obvious. 
 
 The total value of the products of the fisheries and shore statistics, 
 as returned by the census of 1865, was 8422,412.

 In obtaining tne statistics of Manufactures for the State census, 
 assurances were given that nothing should be published which would 
 show the private business of any individual or company. But after 
 arranging the tables by counties, it was found that they included 
 more than one hundred single manufactures, the particulars of which 
 would thus be shown. 
 
 To avoid this, it has been necessary to abandon the tabular form 
 for the statistics, and to make various combinations, which will be 
 explained hereafter. 
 
 The following shows the particulars of the various Manufactures 
 in the whole State, for the year ending June 1, 1865, as obtained by 
 the census. 
 
 The number and amounts of the articles manufactured are not 
 always stated in the returns, and it should be remembered that, in 
 many cases, the "value of the manufactures" includes many items 
 which are ndl named among the articles manufactured.

 MANUFACTURES. 
 
 In the remarks upon the tables, in the Introduction of the present 
 volume, will be found some other statistics, and comparisons relating 
 to the manufacturing interests of the State, including a table showing 
 the number of steam boilers and engines in the State, and their power. 
 I regret that a more full statement of the manufactures of the Stato, 
 with more minute particulars relating to them, cannot be presented ; 
 but for reasons already given on page 72, I feel compelled to omit 
 them. 
 
 The manufacturing interests of the State are of very great impor- 
 tance, and the exhibit given of them in the preceding pages is much 
 more complete than that obtained by any national census of the 
 State. This will be seen by a comparison of a few aggregates ob- 
 tained by the United States Census for the year ending June, I860, 
 with those obtained by the present census for the year ending June, 
 1865, as follows :

 102 BLANKS. 
 
 BLANKS. 
 
 Four blanks were used in taking the census of Rhode Island in 1865 ; one 
 each for the statistics of population, agriculture, fisheries, and manufactures. 
 
 In the preparation of the blanks, it was thought to be important to reduce 
 their size as much as possible, without omitting any items of information which 
 it was desirable to obtain. 
 
 Thus the blank for statistics of population, which is given on the next page, 
 provides for more information than the similar blank used in the United States 
 census of 1860, or in the census of Massachusetts in 1865, while it is very 
 much smaller in size, and more convenient for use. 
 
 The blank, given on the next page, was printed on "fools cap" paper, 
 ruled 35 lines to a page, each sheet containing space for 70 names. Its size, 
 when folded and ready for u?e, was 8xl4 inches, while the United States 
 census blank was 18x18 inches, and that of the Massachusetts census of 1865, 
 was 15x19 inches. 
 
 The blank for agricultural statistics was printed on "fools cap'' paper, and 
 ruled for 36 farms on each sheet, with 59 questions to each farm. 
 
 The blanks for fisheries and for manufactures were printed on small sheets 
 and bound in volumes. 
 
 Copies of all these blanks, so far as they can be represented on pages of this

 NOTICE. 
 
 The facts to be obtained in relation to Manufactures and Agriculture, are^br 
 the year ending June 1, 1865. The above blank is intended as a general 
 guide in obtaining the facts. Of course all the questions given cannot be 
 answered in relation to every kind of manufacture ; but a few of them will be 
 found applicable to every kind, and particular care should be given that all the 
 questions which are applicable should be answered. 
 
 The information given is to be considered strictly confidential, and should be 
 shown to no person. The statistics are to be used by the State only in the 
 aggregates, and nothing will be published which can give information relating to 
 the private business of any company or individual. 
 
 Under the head of " Remarks," note any interesting facts relating to the 
 history, improvements, or changes in the manufacture ; or any other facts that 
 may be furnished.

 CENSUS OF RHODE ISLAND, 
 
 JTIISTK 1, 18G5. 
 
 INSTRUCTIONS. 
 
 To THE ASSESSORS OF TOWNS AND AGENTS OF CITIES : 
 
 By the Act of the General Assembly, a copy of which has been sent to you, 
 the assessors in the several towns, and appointed agents in the cities, are 
 required to take the census The blanks have already been sent to your town. 
 
 Double the quantity of blanks necessary to take the census have been sent. 
 Use what is necessary, and on the remainder a complete copy of the whole is to 
 be made, to be returned to the Secretary of State. 
 
 In the selection of enumerators to do the work, it is of the highest import- 
 ance that those persons, 'only, should be employed who are able to write a plain, 
 legible hand, and who are sufficiently acquainted with the population to spell 
 names correctly. You are requested to use particular care on this point. 
 
 ijjgf 3 In most towns it will be necessary to employ more than one enumerator, 
 and to divide the town into districts. This division should be made so that the 
 boundaries of each district will be clearly understood, and the returns of each 
 district should be kept separate. When a district. is begun by any enumerator, 
 let the same individual complete that district before doing anything in any other. 
 It is desirable to ascertain the population of villages separately. In dividing 
 your town into districts, you will therefore make such divisions as will show this 
 fact, marking on the margin or top 'of the sheet, the name of the village. 
 Where a village lies in more than one town, the agents of each town will take 
 only that portion of the village which lies in their town. The arrangement and 
 combination of the returns in this office, will be made to show the population of 
 whole villages. 
 
 Iggr The blanks must be filled, in all cases, with ink, and not with a pencil. 
 You will see that good ink is used, and that the blanks are kept neatly and in 
 good order. 
 
 djgf" The enumerators should be ready to begin on the second day of June, 
 and should keep at work, diligently, until the census is completed. For many 
 reasons, it is desirable that the work should be completed as soon as possible, 
 and have it done well.
 
 108 . INSTRUCTIONS. 
 
 After the census for a town is finished, a complete copy of the whole is 
 to be made, to return to the office of the Secretary of State. This copy should 
 be in one hand-writing, and in writing that is particularly neat and plain to 
 read. This copy must be certified to be correct, and be returned to the Secre- 
 tary of State as soon as completed ; certainly before the first day of August 
 next. 
 
 To THE ENUMERATORS : 
 
 No person should undertake the duties of taking the census, unless he is able 
 to write a neat, legible hand, and to spell correctly. If you cannot do this, 
 you had better not begin. The writing must be with pen and ink. 
 
 i^" Each enumerator will have a single district assigned to him. Before 
 you commence, be sure you understand exactly the boundaries of your district, 
 and when you are done, be sure you have obtained the name and particulars of 
 every man, woman and child who was living in your district, at noon, on the 
 first day of June, 1865. 
 
 $^T You will fill out the head of each page of the blanks with the number 
 of your district and the name of the town. You will also number each page 
 from the beginning to the end of your district. As the pages are double, the 
 number need be placed only on the left-hand corner of each leaf as it is turned 
 over. 
 
 ^p At the top of the fourth column in the blanks, the word " street " is 
 printed with % space. In the country towns there should be written here the 
 name of the road, or village, or other name by which the locality is commonly 
 known, in which the inhabitants live whose names are on the page. 
 
 ^f" For convenient reference, the columns in the blanks are numbered at the 
 top. The figures at the sides of the pages, and also the darker blue line across 
 the pages, are merely for the purpose of guiding the eye, so as to keep the par- 
 ticulars relating to each person on the same line. 
 
 Hgir By giving particular attention to the following directions, no difficulty 
 will be found in filling the blanks correctly : 
 
 1st COLUMN. Dwelling houses numbered in the order of visitation. 
 Under this head, give the number of the dwelling houses in the order of visita- 
 tation; the first house visited to be numbered ] ; the second one visited, 2 ; 
 the third, 3; and so on to the last bouse visited in the district. Each house, 
 having a separate entrance, is considered as one dwelling house, though It may 
 contain one or more families. There may be several houses in a block ; but if 
 they are separated by walls, and have separate entrances, each is to be con- 
 sidered as one dwelling house, and numbered as such. If a house is used
 
 INSTRUCTIONS. 109 
 
 partly for a shop, store, office, or for other purposes, and partly for a dwelling 
 house ; it is to be numbered as a dwelling house ; but where used for lodging 
 only, it is not. Hotels, poor-houses, asylums, jails, boarding-schools, and 
 other similar institutions, are each to be numbered as a dwelling house ; but 
 should be marked under the number as " hotel," "poor-house," &c. When 
 a dwelling house is found, which is not occupied, put the number in the proper 
 place, and write the word "empty" against the number, leaving the rest of 
 the line across the page, blank. 
 
 2 Dwelling houses ; wood, brick, or stone. In this column, against the 
 number of ea'ch dwelling house, write the letters " W," " B," or " S," indi- 
 cating the principal material of which the house is built. 
 
 gT The blanks for the cities of Providence and Newport are slightly dif- 
 ferent. In those cities, place the letters W, B, or S, (for wood, brick, or 
 stone,) directly under the number of the house. 
 
 B. Families numbered in the order of visitation. Under this head, give 
 the number of each family as visited, in the same manner as the dwelling houses. 
 
 One person, living separately in a house or part of a house, and providing 
 for himself, or herself, is to be numbered as one family ; or several persons 
 living together upon one common means of support, are one family. 
 
 The resident inmates of each hotel, jail, poor-house, boarding-school, &c., 
 should be considered as one family. 
 
 4. Name of every person, fyc. Be sure and give the name, plainly 
 written, of every individual, from the oldest to the youngest, who was a member 
 of the family on the first day of June, 1865. Include, as in the family, those 
 temporarily absent in the army or navy, at school, or college, at sea, travelling, 
 &c., &c. 
 
 All members of the family who were living, at noon, on the first day of 
 June, are to be included, though they may have died after that date ; but chil- 
 dren born after that date, are not to be reckoned. 
 
 Transient persons at hotels are not to be reckoned ; but permanent boarders 
 should be. 
 
 In taking the census of a family, write the names in the following order : 
 1. Master of the family^ if any; 2. Mistress of the family, if any; 3. Chil- 
 dren, in the order of age, beginning with the oldest; 4. Male and female ser- 
 vants; 5. Boarders and other persons. 
 
 o. Age. If the age of the person is one year or over, give the age at the 
 latt birthday in years, in the first column under the head of " Age." If less 
 than one year and more than one month, give the age in months, in the second 
 column. If less than one month, give the age in days, in the third column. 
 Take special pains to give the exact age, as nearly as possible, of each
 
 110 INTRUCTIONS. 
 
 individual. Leave no blanks ; but if it is impossible to get the exact age, give 
 it as nearly as possible, and write the word " about " against the age given. 
 
 6. Sex. In this column, write against the name of every person the letter 
 M or F, meaning male or female. Always write the letter needed. 
 
 7. Color. This column may be left blank for white persons; but in all 
 cases of colored persons, write against each name the letter B, or M, or Ind., 
 meaning black, mulatto, or Indian. 
 
 8. Place of Birth. If in Rhode Island, give the town or city ; if else- 
 where in the United States, give the name of the State, as Mass., Conn., 
 Maine, New York, &c. ; if in other countries, give the name of the country, as 
 England, Ireland, Scotland, Germany, Canada, Nova Scotia, &c. 
 
 9. Parentage. The parentage of each individual depends upon the birth- 
 place of his or her parents. Thus, if both parents of a person were born in the 
 United States, the person is American ; if both parents were born in Ireland, the 
 person is Irish, &c. If the father was born in England, and the mother in the 
 United States, the parentage should be given E. & A., &c., &c. Be sure 
 and get the information with reference to every individual. 
 
 10 Cannot read and write, of 15 years and over. In this column, if the 
 individual can read and write, leave it blank ; if he or she can read, but cannot 
 write, marke a mark under the " W ;" if he or she can neither read nor write, 
 make a mark both under the " R " and under the " W." 
 
 11. Occupation. Give the kind of occupation as far as possible, and do 
 not use general terms, like "mechanic," and " laborer/' when anything more 
 definite can be given. If an "operative," state the kind of mill, as cotton 
 mill, woolen mill, &c., &c. 
 
 12. Naturalized Voters. Make a mark in this column against the name 
 of every person of foreign birth, who has acquired the right to vote, by the laws 
 of this State. 
 
 13. Attending School. The object of this column is to ascertain who have 
 attended school during the year ending June I, 1865. The column is to be 
 filled by writing against the name of each individual who has attended school, 
 the letters "Pub.," "Se.," or " Cath.," with figures indicating the number 
 of months the individual has attended school during the year. Thus, " Pub. 
 10," " Se. 6," "Cath. 7," mean public schools 10 months, select schools 6 
 months, Catholic schools 7 months. 
 
 14 Whether Deaf and Dumb, Blind, fyc. Whenever a person is found, 
 of either of the classes named in this column, write against the name the words 
 Deaf and Dumb, or Blind, or Insane, &c., as the case may be.
 
 INSTRUCTIONS. Ill 
 
 15. Employment in the Military or Naval Service of the United States 
 since 1860. It is expected that the census will show the name, and other par- 
 ticulars, of every inhabitant of the State who is now, or has been, in the army 
 or navy of the United States, since 1860, if they were living on the first day 
 of June, 1865. This may be indicated, by placing, in the proper place, in 
 colnmn 15, the initials of the State in which they enlisted, as R. I.. Mass., 
 Conn., N Y., &c., showing what State the person enlisted in. 
 
 djgf" It is expected that special care will be taken to obtain full information 
 relating to every individual in the State, and that there will be no blanks, or 
 " unknown," where the facts can possibly be ascertained. 
 
 In case there are marked errors or deficiencies, which render it necessary to 
 do the work over, no pay will be allowed for the service rendered. 
 
 <j!if Any further explanations relating to the census, may be obtained by 
 applying to Dr. Edwin M Snow, City Registrar, 27 South Main street, 
 Providence. .
