Volume I i:t^TRODUCTIO^. The Decennial Census taken in 1895 was the fifth regular decennial enumeration of the people, conducted in accordance with the Constitu- tion and laws made in conformity thereto. The enumeration of the population and the collection of social statistics began May 1. By the provisions of the Census law, however, the collection of information relating to other branches of the work, chiefly Manufactures, Agricult- ure, Commerce, and the Fisheries, was not undertaken until a later date, or until the industrial operations of the entire year 1895 had been com- pleted ; so that in the main, the industrial and commercial returns of the Census will cover the year ending December 31, 1895. Although the first decennial enumeration was made in 1855, there were several previous enumerations, by order of the Legislature, the first occurring in 1837, and others following in 1840 and 1850. In con- nection with the Censuses taken decennially by the United States begin- ning with 1790, and the earlier provincial Censuses taken in 1765 and 1776, we are able to trace the growth of the Commonwealth during 130 years. Industrial statistics, including statistics of Agriculture, were collected in the Census of 1837, also in 1845, and regularly in connection with the decennial enumerations begun in 1855. The results of the Census of 1885 were nominally published in three volumes, but, as one of these consisted of two Parts, four books were actually issued, aggregating 4,493 pages of tabular matter, accompanied [xij xii CENSUS OF MASSACHUSETTS— 1895. by analytical text. The results of the present Census, while requiring in their presentation approximately the same number of pages, will be published in smaller volumes, probably eight in number, which will be more conveniently consulted by the reader. Each separate section of the work, as fast as completed, is issued in preliminary pamphlet form, intended mainly for the press, in order that the information may reach the public at the earliest possible moment. In accordance with this plan, the matter contained in the five Parts comprising the present vohime, has been published seriatim, at dates much earlier than would have been possible under the plan formerly followed of issuing practically nothing until the bound volumes were ready. A full statement of the organization and methods of the Census will be given in the final volume, and for that reason will not be other- wise referred to here. The present volume, the first of the series, contains the following : Part 1. Populatiou aud Legal Voters. Population : B}' Towns, Alphabetically. Population for 1885 and 1895 : Increase and Decrease. By Towns. Population and Sex. Population for 1885 and 1895 : Increase and Decrease. By Sex. Part 2 Villages : By Towns.
