'Sobre Poblacion de los Estados' — the 16-article instruction for the 1790 census, copied VERBATIM by Savage across n334–n341. Art.1: 'El medio de saber la Poblacion de los Estados, ó Monarquias, es formar padrones grāles de los Pueblos', deducing 'el numo de Personas dedicada al estado eclesiastico… las qe corresponden á cada clase y casta'. Art.3 orders Documento Nº1, the model padrón per pueblo. Art.4: subdelegados with the parrocos to go 'casa pr casa, y no llamando los vecinos á concurencia', on feast days, absentees answered for by wives/kin, 'sin causar estorciones, detenciones ni otros perjuicios'. Art.5 fears 'esta clase de aberiguaciones suele alarmar á las Gentes de poca instruccion' — curas to soothe parishioners. Art.7 ORDERS THE WORDS 'tributo y Tributarios' OMITTED from provincial returns (mark tributaries only with a 'T') lest the census be read as a tax. Arts.9–14 fix how convents, colegios, hospitals, casas de misericordia and cárceles are counted by sex/edad/casta/clase. Art.15–16 remit printed blanks. Closes: 'Se tomo copia. Bonilla, Méjico, 17 de Marzo 1790, y Fages, 20 de Julio de 1790.'
