B\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 1790, the population of Calais is said to have been only sixteen; in 1800, it was about 100 in 1810, some 200 in 1820, 418; in 1830, 1686; in 1840, 2934; in 1850, 4749 in in The valu ation of taxable property in Calais in 1851, was $824, 932 in 1856, in 1866, in 1874, but these figures represent only about two thirds of the actual, market value of the property. Calais was incorporated as a town, in 1809 and as a city, in 1851. The parish of St. Stephen, in corporated as a town in 1871, and divided into two towns, St. Stephen and Milltown, in 1873, has from the first had a larger population and more wealth than Calais. At present, the three town have about inhabitants, and possess at least worth of property; and the growth, though not rapid, is steady. It seemed to the writer that a locality of this size and importance deserved to have its history res cued from oblivion; and this volume is an attempt in that direction. The task has been difficult and la borious, and the materials on record, scanty. If the work is defective, - if in the thousands of names and dates given, there are some mistakes, - still this book will keep the fathers in honored remembrance, and aid the future historian in preparing a more perfect work.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAbout the Publisher\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
