Note.—­It will be observed to the left of the outline, that is, in the upper and left hand of the table, where the mothers are young and the children few, the factory families predominate, while the agricultural are the most numerous between the outlines, that is, especially in the middle of the table, where the mothers are less young, and the family is from four to five in number.  The two are equally numerous to the right of the outlines, that is, to the right of the table, where the families are large.

[Transcriber’s Note:  In the original manuscript, Table I occupied two facing pages.  This is the right-hand (dexter) page; the left-hand (snister) page is immediately above.]
