1 The ratio was not calculated in the case of those states where both the population and the 

 number of literati produced was very small, for such a ratio would be inaccurate and misleading. 



2 The population summation here given differs from that given in Table VIII because this figure 

 includes the population of several southern and western states which produced no literati before 

 185 1 and which, therefore, were not included in the earlier table. 



3 This figure does not include eighteen Canadians, two white residents of the United States 

 whose exact place of birth was unknown, and the two negroes, for one of whom the place of birth 

 w* & also unknown.
