This book presents the third of three statistical reports on births, marriages, and deaths recorded in Vermont during the 19th century. Published in 1860, it collects and compiles data reported in the state of Vermont during 1859. The author, Charles L. Allen, served as secretary of state and was tasked with presenting these findings to the legislature, and thus to the public. The book's main themes center around the author's belief in the importance of complete and accurate records for the elucidation of vital statistics. The author explores population dynamics within Vermont and makes comparisons to other data, such as the U.S. census, to highlight trends such as immigration, emigration, and urbanization. Allen's also delves into such topics as illegitimate births and births by plurality (including stillbirths). Furthermore, Allen discusses the relationship between season and cause of death, such as the increased occurrence of deaths from zymotic diseases (e.g. cholera) during autumn months. This book is a valuable resource for scholars and genealogists alike, providing a wealth of data and illuminating the social and medical landscape of Vermont in the mid-19th century.
