Excerpt from Census of Rhode Island, 1895 The fourth decennial State census has been taken in strict conformity with the provisions of the law contained in Chap ter 63 Of the Public Statutes. This volume contains hundreds of pages of carefully arranged tables of statistics, and de scriptive and analytical matter relating specifically to the population, manufactures, agriculture, fisheries, and business of the State as they existed in the year eighteen hundred and ninety-five. The volume contains, with minor exceptions, only such matter as has been actually gathered in taking the State census. Therefore, a large mass of matter of an instructive and historical character which was available for this work has been purposely omitted as not being really within the intent and scope of a modern census. The Sole purpose of the Census Board has been to gather as fully as possible accu rate information upon the various subjects required by law, and afterward to arrange them with the carefulness Of detail exacted by the leading statisticians of the country. The result of this effort to arrange and publish a standard work reflecting credit upon the State, and yielding a satisfactory return for the cost and labor involved in its preparation, has resulted in the production of a volume containing more than twice as many pages of statistical tables as were contained in the last similar publication, all carefully collected and collated within the true spirit and purpose of the census law.
