Cexsus MARSAAL.—“I jist want to know how many of yez is deaf, dumb, blind, insane and idiotic-likowice how many convicts there is in the family-what all your ages are, especially the old woman and the young ladies and how many dollars the old gentleman is worth ! [Tremendous sensation all round the table.) PRINCIPAL DATA COLLECTION FORMS, 1790-1980 The early census acts prescribed the inquiries in each decennial census, but the U.S. Government did not furnish uniform printed schedules until 1830. In 1790, the marshals submitted their returns in whatever form they found convenient (and sometimes with added information); from 1800 to 1820, the States provided schedules of varying size and typeface. Unless otherwise specified, the forms illustrated in this report were printed in black ink on uncolored paper stock.
