Now almost every in the country knows the fact
that Mr.. Kennedy framed the schedules, substantially
which the census ordered BY Congress- that
returns of the arha rendered over into his hands
the head of the bureau and that from 1850 1853 he
absorbed in tho work that the work substanti

Mr. DE Bow In the arrangement of the statitcs have
added otbpg to their value or their perspicuity.
