Book Description

Excerpt from History and Statistics of the State of Maryland: According to the Returns of the Seventh Census of the United States, 1850 The changes in the geographical features of territory in the United States, since the first Census, have been so frequent within the several States, that without some explanation, the facts in many portions of the work, present apparent inconsistency. The investigation necessary to arrive at the areas of the different subdivisions in the Union at different periods to reconcile these apparent discrepancies, has developed many facts of great interest, and led to their preparation, with others equally important and valuable, which are deemed worthy a place in a work which will exhibit the state of our country in the middle of the nineteenth century. The work, with all its imperfections, is respectfully submitted to Congress. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
