Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Religious Forces of the United States: Enumerated, Classified, and Described on the Basis of the Government Census of 1890, With an Introduction on the Condition and Character of American Christianity
The statistics are those of the government census Of I revised in a few particulars, and arranged to present, with necessary fullness and without unnecessary detail, the facts that everybody ought to know, but which have not hitherto been accessible. The government report will be very voluminous. It makes the county the unit, not only in its tables for the States, but also in those for ecclesias tical organizations, such as classes, conferences, dioceses, districts, presbyteries, synods, and the like. That is, the statistics of each denomination are given by counties under dioceses and presbyteries, etc., as well as under the several States and Territories. It was deemed unnecessary to over-burden these pages with such a mass of statistical de tails. There are but few persons who would ever need to make use of them. Therefore the State has been made the civil unit, and each denomination is presented in tables.
