About this book
The discussion quotes a traveller who says an initial description of the American gave way to an attempt at description through character rather than external signs. The traveller’s account describes an initial image of people as sharp-visaged, nervous, lank, and restless. The traveller says a fourth trip destroyed the remaining attempt at classification and left the identity of the American uncertain.
The statistical material includes a table distributing petitioners by occupation and courts. The table’s occupation headings cover agriculture, forestry and animal husbandry, mineral extraction, manufacturing and mechanical industries, transportation, trade, public service, professional service, domestic and personal service, and clerical work.
