Numerical values for individual line items in 1855, and the detailed Increase/Decrease breakdown per line, are largely illegible and have been marked with .... The Total Establishments (1852), Grand Totals (1852, 1855), and aggregate Increase/Decrease/Net figures are derived from the most legible totals at the foot of the statement. Cause texts have been reconstructed from the OCR's "Cause of increase or Decrease" column.
