A Procedure for Sampling the Manuscript Census Schedules The quantitative study of nineteenthcentury United States history rests heavily on historians' use of both published and manuscript censuses of the United States; the most economical and useful form in which the latter data can be made available is in a machine-readable sample of the enumerated households for the manuscript census schedules.1 Some historians, such as Curti in his study of Trempealeau County in Wisconsin, focused on a small community, utilizing data from all the enumerated households in that community. Others, like Bateman and Foust, attempted to select samples from a wider area in order to broaden the possible generalizations and to save some of the labor involved in rendering entire bodies of manuscript material
