WHITAKER, LONDON. 1823. TO JOHN RICKMAN, Esq. OF COMMONS, ONE OF THE PRINCIPAL CLERKS OF THE HOUSE AND THE DISTINGUISHED OFFICER WHOM COUNCIL HIS MAJESTY'S MOST HONOURABLE PRIVY CHARGED WITH THE IMPORTANT DUTY OF DIGESTING THE GOVERNMENT ENUMERATIONS OF THIS COUNTRY, THIS ABSTRACT OF THE ENUMERATION OF SCOTLAND, IS INSCRIBED, BY HIS MOST OBEDIENT SERVANT, JAMES LUMSDEN. It would be unjust not to mention, in this place, that Mr. Cleland has transmitted printed documents, containing very numerous and very useful Statistical Details concerning the City and Suburbs of Glasgow, and that the example has produced imitation in some other of the principal Towns in Scotland, though not to the same extent of mi- nute investigation by which Mk. Cleland's labours are distinguished. GOVERNMENT ENUMERATION VOLUME, 1821. ADVERTISEMENT. The digests of the various Government Enu- merations of this Country do great honour to the talents and industry of the Gentleman who has been selected for collecting and arranging them. A perusal of these elaborate and useful documents, suggested the idea of requesting per- mission to publish that part of the last Enumer- ation which relates to Scotland. Having applied to Mr. Cleland, he not only procured us permission to publish the work, but very handsomely agreed to collate it with former Enumeration Abstracts, and collect from other Works, whatever might be useful or interesting, with respect to so important a branch of the Statistics of Scotland. The Publishers flatter themselves, that with the able assistance of a Gentleman whose Statistical Inquiries have eiven — celebrity to the Political Information of the Citi- zens of Glasgow, and who has deservedly obtain- ed the distinguished approbation of those best qualified to appreciate his arduous, but gratuitous labours, they have furnished for the Public a Work which will meet their approbation. This Compendium, the first of the kind that has been given to the Public, is of such a nature as must meet the approbation of every Scots- man desirous of obtaining a Numerical and Sta- tistical Knowledge of his Native Country. Attention is requested to the following corrections : At the top of pages .54—60. 75—78. 8 1—86 ;— For, from the Government, read, with the Government. In page 78, the average number of members in the Town Councils in Scotland, is out, estimated at 20.—-Since that article went to Press, a Parliamentary Paper has come by which it appears that the average is exactly population of £>cotlanD* •i POPULATION OF SCOTLAND IN 1821.
