About this book
A census, Tolstoy argues here, is a sociological study whose aim is the happiness of the people, not knowledge alone. He sets it apart from sciences such as the study of nebulae, because its subjects are living people and it takes two thousand citizens to carry out. A census-taker who finds a man starving in a night lodging-house cannot just write him down and walk on. The piece is an extract from a longer work and dates from 1882, when Moscow was counted.
