author employed twelve parochial beadles, nineteen mercantile 

 clerks, and one superintendent of police to take up the lists. Be- 

 fore the books were prepared, an advertisement was put in the 

 ten Glasgow newspapers, requesting the inhabitants to favour him 

 with their suggestions as to classification ; and before the list- 

 takers commenced their operations, bills were posted on the 

 public places and dwelling-houses of the city, informing the in- 

 habitants of the nature of the inquiries, and that they had no 

 reference to taxes ; and, moreover, that noncompliance, or 

 giving a false return, subjected them to a fine. When the books 

 were returned, the public, through the medium of the press, 

 were requested to call at an ofl&ce, appointed for the purpose, 

 and to correct any omission or error which might have been 

 made in their returns. 



The list-takers having made oath before the Lord Provost 

 that the name of every householder in the district assigned to 

 them had, with the other particulars, been faithfully entered in 

 a book, the author proceeded to classification, and to the forma- 

 tion of tables and abstracts for each parish, containing numerous 

 details not required for the Government digest.
