The Eayptian Census

A census is a thing that is about
as old as human government, though
we get the word census" from the
Romans among whom the word
"censure" means to estimate or make
account, and hence came Census"
meaning a measure of inhabitants.
The people had to be measured or
"enumerated'' or numbered for pur-
poses of taxation and military serv-
ice and the old Romans had their
census" which was made at varying
intervals.
1t is most likely that the ancient
Egyptians had their census, perhaps
an annual census, though, of course,
they called it something else, for each
inhabtant had to pay a tax and give
an account of the way he made his
living In Herodotus' history it is
set down:
Under the reign of Amasis, Egypt
is said to have enjoyed great pros
perity, both in respect to the benefits
derived from the river to the land,
and from the land to the people, and
it is said to have contained at that
time 10000 inhabited cities. Amass
il was who established the law among
the Egyptians that every Egyptian
should annually declare to the gov
crnor of his district h. What means
he maintained himself, and if he
failed to do this or did rot show that
he lived by honest means he should
be punished with death. Scion, the
Athenian, having brought this law
from Egypt, established it at Athens,
and that people still continue to OBJ
serve it as being an unobjcctionablc
regulation"
The first census of the United
States was made in 1890, though
there We're censuses taken in the
colonies at an earlier time. 1t has
been set down that the first census
in England. covering the whole king
dom. was made in 1901, but it is a
matter of record that a census Of all
England was taken in the year 656, or
very close to that year. This census
may be seen in an old document
called the Tribal Hidage, printed in
