The Act for taking the Census of England required that the 31,000 Enumerators employed should copy into as many books the householders' schedules and other particulars collected by them in their several districts. These books were to be placed, with the schedules, in the hands of the 2,197 Registrars, who were to subject them to a strict examination, and make all necessary corrections. This being accomplished, the books and other documents were to be transferred before the 30th April to the custody of the 631 Superintendent Registrars, who were required to test the accuracy of their contents by a further process of revision.
* This abstract contains the substance of one laid before Parliament on the 7th June last, and prepared in the Registrar-General's office by Dr. Farr and Mr. Hammack. I t may be thought by some inexpedient to occupy the pages of this Journal with matter so easily accessible elsewhere; but we believe most of our readers will consider it only fitting that some brief record should appear in it of the results of an inquiry of such importance as this undoubtedly is.—ED.
