About This Item

Octavo edition of the Second Federal Census, a foundational building block in the maintenance and coordination of Federal powers.

The American population in 1800 was 5.3 million people. For this census, the "Indian, slave, and free black populations were listed by total number only. Memorials from Thomas Jefferson and Timothy Dwight requested that much more information be collected in the census. Both men wanted occupational or economic data to be collected and asked that the census distinguish the native-born and immigrant populations." (Anderson p18, quoted and paraphrased)

Signed in print by then-Secretary of State James Madison and preceded only by the rare folio edition.
