To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
1830. 1840. 1850. 570, 010 878, 300 1, 329, 937 2, 809, 251 The last number may be somewhat increased upon the publication of the census returns, as it is possible that my data may not be quite complete upon this point. It will be perceived from the figures given that the tendency of the population to congregate in cities has been, as might be expected, much stronger in the last ten years than in any previous de- cade. The cities which now contain 2, 809, 251, contained in 1840, when several of... them were only small towns, 1, 514, 103, inhabitants ; so that these cities have increased, in ten years, eighty-five and a half per cent. The same rate of increase, for the next ten years, will carry these cities up to 5, 200, 000 inhabitants, to which number must be added 800, 000 at least, for about fifty towns now below the standard. Six MILLIONS of people in cities, in 1860, and at least FOUR MILLIONS more engaged in manufactures, mining, and mechanic arts, navigation and transportation, will consume each, on an average, five bushels of wheat, with other bread stuffs and provisions in proportion, all to be grown where they can be obtained cheapest, reckoning together cost of growth, and of transportation.
