pages. Book is in good  condition.  Per The  Publisher:
The records of the New York State  Census of 1790 were almost completely destroyed in a fire that consumed the New  York State Library in March of 1911. Although a goodly portion of the Albany  County census of 1790 was indeed burned, about half of the names for Albany  County (just under 4,000) did survive. Interestingly, hundreds of those names  differ from the listing in the federal census of 1790, underlining the  importance of the state census to the genealogist. Professor Scott's compilation  is a transcription of the rescued portion of the Albany County census and gives,  first, the name of the head of household as it appears in the state census and,  immediately after it, in brackets, the reading in the federal census-an  arrangement of uncommon advantage to the genealogist. The names in the state  census are here listed alphabetically within each town or within each ward in  the city of Albany.
