* In this table the reader can discover the statistical results of some great fluctuations which have taken place in the population of those wards in
which the necessities of commerce and its warehouses have supplanted large masses of inhabitants. For example, it is seen that in the first six wards,
which comprise the whole region south of Canal street, these fluctuations began to be felt as early as 1845, and the effect became more and more marked
in each succeeding census period since that time. In all the wards south of Fourteenth street the encroachments of warehouses and manufactories have
produced many changes in the state of the population, but the most important of all is that of concentration.
