Excerpt from A Compendium of the Census of Massachusetts: 1875 Censuses of the people, relating to but few particulars, have been taken at various times. There were colonial censuses in 1754, 1765 and 1776, and state censuses were ordered in 1837, 1840 and 1850. The census has, also, been taken in Massachusetts under the national government, each tenth year, since 1790. The regular decennial enumeration Of the inhabitants, under state authorization, was begun in 1855, in connection with the collection of the industrial statistics, which were also gathered in 1837, 1845, 1855 and 1865. Thus the present is the fifth census Of the industrial statistics Of the State, and the third constitutional decennial enumeration of the people. A brief sketch of the recent censuses taken under the authority of the State will Show the necessity of a change in methods, and secure a better comprehension Of the reasons which governed the Officers of the Bureau in their endeavors to give the Commonwealth the best possible results for the great outlay essential to a proper prosecution Of their duties.
