The following Reports of the Tenth Census treat of this subject: vol.
1, Population; vol. 7, Valuation, Taxation and Indebtedness; vol. 18,
Social Statistics of Cities: New England and Middle States (reviewed in
the Nation, vol. 44, p. 256); and vol. 19, Social Statistics of Cities:
Southern and Western States.
Scribner’s Statistical Atlas of the United States, N. Y., 1883,
exhibits the figures of the census graphically (p. xlv, statistics of
population). Plate 21 illustrates the growth of American cities since
1790. There were then only eight cities of eight thousand inhabitants,
and the population of New York was 33,131. Plate 30 gives ratios of
different nationalities to total population in the largest fifty
cities. Plate 76 gives net per capita debt in the largest one hundred
cities.
On movement of population see an article by B. G. Magie, Jr., in

Smith’s “Statistics and Economics,” p. 264 in vol. 3 of the
Publications of the American Economic Association; a study on the
“Rise of American Cities” by Dr. A. B. Hart in the Quarterly Journal
of Economics, January, 1890, vol. 4, pp. 129-157; an article by

for November, 1892, and another by John C. Rose, on “The Decrease of
Rural Population” in the Popular Science Monthly for March, 1893, vol.
42, pp. 621-38. Cf. work by E. Levasseur, entitled _Les Populations
Urbaines en France, comparees a celles de l’Etranger_, Paris, 1887.
