First Annual Report Upon the Births, Marriages, Divorces and Deaths in the State of Maine for the Year Ending December 31st, 1892
Augusta, ME: Office of the Registrar, the State of Maine, 1894. Cloth. A nice piece of late 19th century Americana. The very first annual statistical report issued on the "births, marriages, divorces and deaths" in Maine. In 1892, when they began to record things such as "towns in which the births exceeded the deaths", "marriages in which both husband and wife were foreign", "deaths by whooping cough by city", "typhoid fever by counties", "suicide by counties" etc. A solid copy to boot. Tight and VG in its dark-red cloth, with just a bit of spotting and soiling to the pastedowns and minor, infrequent spotting at the text. Octavo, roughly 45 tables complementing the text. Very Good. Item #26065
