The Spiritual Improvement of the Census, by Robert George Baker 64879 [Subtitle: A Sermon] [Link: http://www.gutenberg.org/6/4/8/7/64879 ] [Files: 64879-0.txt; 64879-h.htm] For those wishing to know: Rev. Baker, vicar of Fulham, London, preached this on England census day, 1851. He wanted to reassure his congregation that God wouldn't punish the nation for taking a census, and to use it to reflect on the last 10 years (since the previous census). Rev. Baker was being troubled by Catholic expansion at Fulham and notes this in the sermon, and adds quite a lot of detailed anti-Catholic notes at the end. Apparently the Catholics had setup a bookshop outside the entrance to the church(!) All the best, David, Overcast England
