. A table of population, with the towns and villages, will be found at page 103. The old census has not, in all cases, been stricken out. Neither have the old boundaries all been erased — the map is the best source to ascertain boundaries. Sometimes two accounts of the same matters differ, be cause they were obtained of two different persons : one in formant may say Forsyth is 24 miles from Macon, another that Macon is 25 from Forsyth. As much of the last edition, as possible, was used by the printer, because it was plainer than the manuscript, and less trouble to decipher : some errors may have occurred in this way. The table of counties and academies has been somewhat altered, and connected with the history and progress of education. lt was thought best to leave the state and condition of most places as they were in 1829, so that the reader may perceive the increase or diminution which has since taken place.
