New York State Annual Register, 1833 |
|
By Edwin Williams
|
|
| Annual Registers
are a great source of miscellaneous information. Mr. Williams was
only one of several publishers of such statistics. Generally
speaking, information was given regarding lists of New York State post
offices and their postmasters; lists of towns, townships and villages;
lists of banks, institutions (such as schools and societies); and lists
of railroads, banks, government officials, the military and the
judiciary. Some included almanacs and census information.
(The 1871 Register includes the United States Constitution and
population by town according to census reports for 1840, 1845, 1850,
1855, 1860, 1865 and 1870.) |
