NUMBERING THE PEOPLE.

ilafc ipaaaa Hill.
It was In 1753 that a proposal to
count the people wus first made,
rbouias Potter, son of the archbishop
of Canterbury aud member for St.
German«, lutroduced In that year a bill
"for taking and registering an auuual
account of the total uumber of the
people aud of the total number of
marriages, births and deaths aud ulso
i»f the total uumber of |>onr recalling
alms from every parish and extra pare
chial place In Great —
Britain.” It was
Inevitable, of course, that directly this
proposal was made the precedent of
King David should be quoted. And
many were the jeremiads as to the al
ternative evils which would befall the
country. Those submitted to Duvld
were mild In comparison. Mr. Thorn
ton, member for York city, said:
“1 did not believe that there was any
set of men or, tudeed, any Individual
of the human species so presumptuous
and so abandoned us to make the pro
posal we have Just heard. * * * I bold
this subject to lie totally subversive of
the last remains of English liberty.

addition of a very few words will niuka
It the most effectual engine of rapac
ity nnd oppression that was ever used
against an Injured people. • • • More
over, an unnmrt register of our people
will acquaint our enemies abroad with
our weakness.”
Matthew Ridley, another opposing
memtier, added that his constituents
"looked on the proposal as ominous
and feared lest some public misfortune
or an epidemical distemper should fol
low the numbering." However, the
bill passed the commons, only to be
promptly rejected by the lords. Not
until 1800 was the proposal again
made, and on this occasion It was
brought to a successful Issue. The
first census of England and Wales was
taken In March, 1801.—Fortnightly Re
