In this book Robert V. Wells presents an exhaustive survey of
recently discovered census data covering 21 American colonies
between 1623 and 1775. He thus provides the first full-scale
determination of basic demographic patterns in all parts of
England's empire in America before 1776. Following an examination
of the adequacy of the censuses, the author describes the
population patterns of each colony for which a census is available.
He presents information on size and growth of population; race,
age, and sex composition; degree of freedom; household size and
composition; marital status; military manpower; and birth and death
rates. He concludes by describing important variations in
demographic patterns from one part of the empire to another and the
possible significance of those differences. Originally published in
1975. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand
