It appears, from the preceding table, that the population in all 

 the towns of the United States, containing 10,000 inhabitants and 

 upwards, is something more than one-thirteenth ( T W) of the whole 

 number ; that ten of the States, whose united population exceeds 

 4,000,000, have, as yet, no town of that rank ; and that, in the other 

 sixteen States, the ratio of their town population to their whole 

 population, varies from something less than one-third, to less than 

 a sixteenth part. It further appears, that the increase of those 

 towns has been nearly the same, from 1830 to 1840, as from 1820 



* Lowell had no existence before 1822. 



t The decline of population here indicated, was the effect of very destructive fire.
