[A] Table is based on figures compiled from Eighth Census,
_Pop._, pp. 9, 19, 46, 74, 132, 195, 215, 452, 487, 519; Tenth
Census, vol. i, _Pop._, pp. 416-425; Eleventh Census, vol. i,
_Pop._, pp. 451-485; Twelfth Census, vol. i, pt. 2, _Pop._, pp.
cxix-cxxi and _Bulletin 8, Negroes of the United States_, pp.
230-232. For 1860, compare Hoffman, _Race Traits and Tendencies
