Due to the very old age and scarcity of this book, some pages are missing and may be hard to read due to the blurring of the original text.The 1871 census was a comprehensive endeavor that captured vital data across several key areas. It provided a detailed account of the population, including total counts for each province's districts and a record of any territorial changes. Comparisons with population densities in other regions were made, offering context. Demographic data encompassed religion and gender, while categorization into agricultural and non-agricultural groups revealed economic structures. Information on age, mental health (including the number of individuals considered "insane"), education, caste systems, and occupations offered insights into society. Urban-rural divides, progress trends, and educational details at different administrative levels were documented. The census even delved into specifics such as the occupation of adult males in larger towns and the demographics of Europeans and Eurasians. J. Charles Williams, an administrator during the British Raj, held the position of assistant settlement officer and was entrusted with overseeing the census report in Seetapur. He submitted the 1871 census report on December 9, 1869, to the relevant authorities. This comprehensive report was organized into four sections: firstly, providing initial area and population estimates; secondly, detailing the methods employed by local authorities in different districts to conduct the census; thirdly, offering an in-depth examination of seven sets of tables displaying census results; and fourthly, addressing miscellaneous points not covered by the census tables. Williams played a pivotal role in this vital data-gathering effort. The Title 'Census of India 1871: The Report on The Census of Oudh, Appendices And Statistical Tables written/authored/edited by J.
