Excerpt from Abstract of the Twelfth Census of the United States, 1900 The Abstract is an epitome or digest of the contents of the ten volumes of the Twelfth Census, and is designed for the use of the general public who may not have access to the main volumes or may find this digest more convenient for ready refer ence. For this purpose the volume should be small; the information should be presented in tables because an item of information is found far more easily in a table than in text; and the tables should be arranged in a simple, orderly way so that any table wanted may be found without delay. It has been the endeavor to make the present volume fulfill these requirements. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
