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. H. Beverley served as an administrator during the British Raj and was entrusted with the responsibility of overseeing the census operations in Calcutta.
